Kohl-Rabi 
(Turnip Rooted Cabbage) 
One ounce of seed to 200 feet of row. 
The Kohl-Rabi belongs to the Cabbage family. It does not 
make a head, but the stalk forms a turnip-shaped swelling just 
above the surface of the earth. These balls when the size of 
an egg make a very excellent vegetable. May be cooked either 
like cauliflower or turnip, resembling cauliflower in flavor. They 
are in season during June, July and August, or at periods when 
turnips are not good, and succeed in dry weather when turnips 
are fibrous and hot. For a continuous supply sow every 2 
weeks up to the middle of July. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA is the best variety of Kohl-Rabi; 
very select, extra-early strain ; ready for the table in 60 days

licious. No garden complete without it. Pkt., 10c; oz., 22c;

Florence Fennel or Finocchio 
Florence Fennel 
A delicious vegetable which should be more largely grown. It is extensively used as a salad in 
some parts of Europe, and is particularly palatable when served boiled, with a cream dressing. 
Very distinct from Sweet Fennel, easily cultivated, and matures quickly 
from seed sown in early summer. The thickened bases of the leaf-stalks 
form a bulb-like growth, which is blanched by earthing up like celery. 
Requires less blanching than celery. The flavor is somewhat like celery, 
but sweeter. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c, postpaid.
