X-L VEGETABLE SEEDS 
KOHL'RABI 
A few years ago only the most enthusiastic gardeners 
planted this vegetable. Now it is not an uncommon sight 
to find the children eating them raw from the garden the 
same as turnips. Seed should be sown early in the spring 
as possible and thinned to about six inches apart. Plant 
at intervals of 10 days so that you will have a succession 
of bulbs throughout the hot weather as they fail to grow 
when the weather becomes too warm. 
76—EARLY WHITE VIENNA 
Bulbs are light green with white flesh. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c. 
LEEK 
(Pictured on Front Cover) 
Culture is the same as onion. Chiefly used in soups, stews, 
and salads or any place where an exceptionally mild onion 
flavor is desired. 
77—LONDON FLAG 
This produces round, thick plants. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c. 
Leek makes an ideal substitute for onions in fall and 
winter. Tastes as good but without the strong odor.

Headed Varieties 
Head lettuce is easy to raise 
where the nights are cool. 
Most people fail to thin them 
to a sufficient distance to 
produce large heads. Solid 
heads may also be produced 
if the tiny plants are reset 
the same as cabbage.

HANSON 
This is the earliest of all the 
headed varieties. Has a firm 
cabbage-like head. Very 
white in the center and crisp 
and tender. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c;
