Kohl-Rabi. German, Lauch. — French, Poireau. — Spanish, Puerro. 
Makes a valuable second crop on land that has been used for cabbage, etc., but the soil should receive a liberal 
dressing of well-composted manure before being planted. Sow the seed in April, in rows one foot apart, and trans¬ 
plant in July. Transplant quite deeply into rows 15 inches apart, with six inches between the plants. Hoe up the 
earth around the stems when they begin to grow, so as to blanch and make them tender. Take up and store in earth 
in a cool cellar before winter weather. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. Pkt. Oz. y 4 lb. Lb.

Endive. 
German, Endivien. — french, Chicorie. — Spanish, Endivia. 
Sow for an early supply about the middle of April. As it is used 
mostly in the fall months, the main sowings are made in June and July. 
When up, thin out to eight inches apart, and water well afterwards if 
dry. When the leaves are six to eight inches long, blanch by gathering 
together and tying near the top with yarn or raffia. This must be done 
when the plants are quite dry or they will rot. Before cold weather, 
take up carefully with a ball of earth to each plant, and place close 
together in a cold frame or cellar for use. Keep dry and give plenty of 
air, or they will rot. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. 
Lettuce* 
German, Lattich-Salat. — French, Laitue. — Spanish, Lechuga. 
(For price on Lettuce Plants see Vegetable Plants.) 
The most easily grown of all open-air plants used for salads. It requires a warm 
soil that has had a liberal dressing of well-rotted manure and abundant moisture. To 
be of satisfactory quality, the growth should be rapid and vigorous. Seed may be 
sown in a frame in February or March, the plants set out as early as the ground 
can be worked, as light frosts will not injure them. Set the plants nine inches 
apart in the rows, and 18 inches between the rows. For successive crops, sowing 
may be made every two weeks up to the end of August. To grow Cos success¬ 
fully the seed must be sown early in a hot-bed, and when large enough trans¬ 
planted to a cold-frame in order to have good plants ready to set out when the 
ground becomes workable. They require tying for a few days, when grown, to 
blanch them. B reek's Boston Market, Big Boston and Hittinger's Belmont are 
varieties especially suitable for growing under glass. One ounce of seed 7vill pro¬ 
duce about 4,000 plants.
