Kohl Rabi. 
FENNEL 
Florence Fennel 
A native of Italy, a distinct dwarf annual, very thick-set herb. The large, finely 
cut, Ught 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 flst. Sow in spring after the ground gets warm. The drill 12 
inches apart and the plants thmned to 6 inches asimder. They are very thirsty 
things and require water frequently. When the "Apple" attains the size of an egg, 
earth may be drawn up slightly to the base, which may be about half covered: cutting 
may begin about ten days later. Florence Fennel is generally boiled and served with 
butter or a cream dressing. It suggests Celery in flavor, but is sweeter and is even 
more pleasingly fragrant. Up to the present time, it is not much used in Canada, 
but it deserves to be more extensively cultivated. Pkt., 10 cts.: oz., 75 cts. 
ENDIVE 
Sow in June in drills one foot apart, and thin out to about the 
same distance. When six to eight inches high, tie up to blanch, 
and draw up the earth around the plants. Be careful that the 
leaves are dry when tied up, but give plenty of water during 
dry 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 somiarid country where tm'nips will not grow at 
all as it does not require as much moistm-e.
