KOHL RABI 
Kohl Rabi is sown for general crop in the spring, like the Turnip, In drills ; or 
may be transplanted like Cabbage. For winter table use, sow middle of June. 
The stem, just above the surface of the ground, swells into a bulb something like a 
Turnip. It will bear drouth better, and thus a crop is more certain. It is cooked 
like the Turnip, and is highly prized for stock, as a substitute for Turnips. When 
used for the table it should be gathered when small and tender, as later it becomes 
tough and stringy. One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill.
