KOHL RABI—Early White Vienna 
KOHL RABI 
CULTURE. This vegetable is a cross between Cabbage 
and Turnip. The edible portion is the large bulb 
which forms on the stem above the soil. Sow the seed 
thinly in drills where the plants are to stand and 
thin out 3 to 4 inches apart. It is best to make sev¬ 
eral successive sowings in order to obtain tender 
bulbs. An ounce of seed will produce 2000 plants.

tinctly small tops; roots medium size, very light

Our selected Head Lettuce Seeds are all of our own grown stocks, most carefully and strict¬ 
ly rogued by personal attention from our men, who have experienced and specialized in that 
line for over 30 years. Every year all of our mother stock seeds are grown on new ranches 
situated in different sections, its nearest distances being ten to sixty miles out of Hollister. 
Its quality and superiority are dependable. 
CULTURE. May be sown in either summer or winter in furrows 14 to 16 inches apart. Fur¬ 
rows should be 38 to 40 inches wide and 8 to 1 0 inches high. Thin out 14 to 16 inches 
when the sixth or eighth leaf appear. Will not form head if planted in too hot weather. Re¬ 
quires about 2 pounds of seed if sown in summer and about 1 Lt pounds if sown in winter. 
A rich pliable soil is best. Lettuce needs considerable moisture applied often but not too 
freely. Frequent cultivation is necessary to obtain best results. 
*The very newest Brown Blight Resistant strains developed by Dr. Ivan C. Jagger of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. (Orders accepted up to 10 lbs. on the following two 
varieties. 
^IMPERIAL NO. 152. Fully resistant to brown blight. Similar to Imperial F and New York 
in size and matures fully as early, but more subject to tip burn than either. In Salinas, Wat¬ 
sonville, and similar sections, it should, on account of its susceptibility to tip burn, be tried 
only for early spring or late fall harvesting. 1 oz. 35c; 4 oz. 70c; 1 lb. $2.40, postpaid. 
* IMPERIAL NO. 615. Immune to brown blight. Of the same general type as Imperial C, 
Imperial No. 2-50, and Imperial No. 6 and has similar adaptations as regards localities and 
seasons for planting. It, however, promises to possibly be of better quality than any of 
these and to possibly be more satisfactory as regards heading and resistance to both frost 
and warm weather injury. 1 oz. 35c; 4 oz. 75c; 1 lb. $2.50, postpaid.
