the leaves together as we do Cos Lettuce.

The great secret of raising this delicious vegetable at the 
north is to get strong, stocky plants. For this purpose, 
sow the seed in April in a box in the house or hot bed. 
Prick out the plants as soon as they begin to crowd, and 
about the first of May take up the plants carefully and 
pot them, putting one plant in a pot. About the first week 
in June set out the plants in rows four feet apart and 
three or four feet in the rows, on very rich soil and keep 
entirely free from weeds. 
Those who planted our New York Improved Purple Egg 
Plant Seed last year must have found it excellent. Being 
grown here at the North, it is more productive and ma¬ 
tures earlier than plants grown from imported seed. Our 
seed this year is equally good or better. Try it.

Kale, gorecole, or Greeqs. 
'Fr. Chou Vert. Ger. Blatter Kohl. 
We have for many 
years called attention 
to this vegetable. All 
old country people 
know it well. It 
makes the best of 
greens for the table, 
and can be profitably 
grown for stock. It 
is extremely hardy, 
and with a little pro¬ 
tection will stand our 
severest winters, and 
afford delicious greens 
all through the win¬ 
ter and spring. Cul¬ 
tivation precisely the 
same as for cabbage.

Kopl Rabi. 
Fr. Chou-rabe. Ger. Kohlrabi* 
Kohl Rabi is a remarkable vegetable. To many it will 
be quite a curiosity. It looks as though it was half cab¬ 
bage and half turnip. Botanists class it with the cabbage 
family. The leaves can be fed to cows like cabbage, while 
the bulbs or roots resemble the turnip and are relished by
