KOHL-RABI. 
One ounce will S 070 a drill of about 200 feet. 
Kohl-Rabi, or Turnip-stemmed Cabbage, is a vegetable 
that is not so much cultivated as it deserves to be. The 
stem above the ground swells into a bulb somewhat re¬ 
sembling a Turnip ; this again is crowned with leaves. 
The edible part is the bulb, which is dressed and served 
like I urnips, and is very delicate and tender when young. 
It is very hardy, withstands severe drought, and is a good 
keeper. Cultivate the same as for Cabbage, but in hoe¬ 
ing be careful not to throw earth into the heart of the 
plant or the bulb cannot form.

LARGE AMERICAN FLAG LEEK. 
LEEK. 
One ounce will sow a drill of about too feet. 
Leeks require a very rich, mellow soil, and a liberal 
dressing of well-composted manure. Sow the seed in 
April in rows a foot apart, and transplant in July. Land 
that has borne an early crop of Peas, Cabbages, etc., may 
thus be made use of for a second crop ; but additional 
manure should be applied before setting out the Leeks. 
They should be set quite deep, and in rows 15 inches 
apart, with 6 inches between the plants. Care must be 
used to avoid having the young plants overgrown by 
weeds. Later in the season, draw earth up around the 
plants to blanch them.
