CULTURE This vegetable is a cross between a 
cabbage and a turnip. The edible por¬ 
tion is the large bulb which forms on the stem 
above the soil. We advise successive sowing in 
order to obtain tender bulbs, which have a mild, 
delicate, cabbage-like flavor. It is a hardy plant 
and seed may be sown practically all the year 
around. Plant it like turnip and thin to six inches 
apart in row. One ounce seed will produce 2000 
plants. Use when 2 y 2 to 3 in. in diameter as it 
soon becomes woody.
