eight inches long, tie them.up for blanching, to make them lit for the 
table. This can only be done in dry weather, otherwise the leaves are 
apt to rot. For summer use do not sow before the end of March, as, 
if sown sooner, the plants will run into seed very early. Sow for a

This vegetable is very popular with the European population of 
this city, and largely cultivated here. It is used for soups, or prepared 
in the same manner as Cauli¬ 
flower. For late fall and winter 
use it should be sown from the 
end of July till the middle of 
October; for spring use, during 
January and February. When 
the young plants are one month 
old transplant them in rows one 
foot apart, and about the same 
distance in the rows. They also 
grow finely if sown broad-east 
and thinned out when young, so 
that the plants are not too 
crowded; or they may be sown 
in drills and cultivated the same 
as Ruta Bagas.
