KOHL RABI 
Plant Two Pounds per Acre 
This plant, used both for table and for cattle feeding, is a Cabbage in which the cultural development 
has been directed to the stalk, not to leaf. The enlarged stems take the globular form of Turnips. They 
are in season June, July and August, or at periods when Turnips are not available. Try them when the 
balls are no larger than a silver dollar. They will be found very appetizing. _ 
The Kohl Rabi is a turnip shape swelling of the stem, in the shape of a ball, the size of a large orange, 
this occurs near the surface of the earth—these balls when the size of an egg make a very excellent vegetable 
having the combined flavors of Cabbage and Turnips. This year’s crop almost a failure.
