Kohl-Rabi 
(Turnip Rooted Cabbage) 
One ounce of seed to 200 feet of row.

make a head, but the stalk forms a turnip-shaped swelling just 
above the surface of the earth. These balls when the size of 
an egg make a very excellent vegetable. May be cooked either 
like cauliflower or turnip, resembling cauliflower in flavor. They 
are in season during June, July and August, or at periods when 
turnips are not good, and succeed in dry weather when turnips 
are fibrous and hot. For a continuous supply sow every 2 
weeks up to the middle of July.

string for several days before wanted
