FLORENCE FENNEL. 
A native of Italy, a distinct dwarf annual, very thick-set herb. The large, finely cut, 
light green leaves are borne on very broad, pale green or almost whitish stalks, which 
overlap at their bases, somewhat like Celery, but much more swelled at edible maturity, 
to form a sort of head or irregular ball, "the apple," as it is called, sometimes as large as 
a man's fist. Sow in spring after the ground gets warm. The drill 12 inches apart and 
the plants thinned to 6 inches asunder. They are very thirsty things and require water 
frequently. When the "Apple" attains the size of an egg, earth may be drawn up sligh- 
tly to the base, which may be about half covered; cutting may begin about 10 days later. 
Florence Fennel is generally boiled and served with butter or a cream dressing. It sug- 
gests Celery in flavor, but is sweeter and is even more pleasingly fragrant. Up to the 
present time, it isnot much used in Canada, but it deserves to be more extensively culti- 
vated. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 50 cts. 
ENDIVE

weather.

KOHL RABI 
One ounce of seed will sow a drill of about 150 feet. 
A vegetable superior to cooked turnips is found in Kohl Rabi. 
a small quantity of which is grown in this country. One common 
mistake is in harvesting it too old. It is best when quite tender and 
not full grown. If permitted to grow old it becomes woody and 
stringy. The vegetable has the added advantage of doing fairly 
well in a aemiarid country where turnips will not grow at all 
as it does not require as much moisture.
