KOHL-RABI 
CULTURE—This is an excellent vegetable 
and should be grown in every garden. Sow 
in the spring, in rows eighteen inches apart, 
afterwards thinning the plants to eight or ten 
inches. If the weather is suitable, the thin¬ 
nings may be planted, but it is considered dif¬ 
ficult to transplant. Keep the weeds down and 
when the thickened stem above ground is two 
or three inches through, they are fit to eat, and 
should be used at once, being tough when old. 
They are cooked the same as turnips, and 
when well grown and used at the proper stage, 
are tender and palatable.
