Chou Coba, Fr. Cavolo Verde, Ital. 
Cabu, Sp. Futterkohl, Ger.

A plant similar to cabbage. It 
does not, however, produce a 
head, the central leaves often forming a loose 
rosette. 
They are tender and used as a pot herb like 
kale. Desirable as greens for poultry or rab¬ 
bits. Same culture is applied as to cabbage, 
except spacing; plant 15 in. apart in rows 3 ft. 
apart when in field.

In the fall, lift the plant, trim off the leaves 
and store in sandy soil in a cool place until 
wanted for forcing. 
The roots should be planted upright about 
1 % to 2 inches apart in a trench 16 to 18 
inches deep. This brings the neck of the 
root within 9 inches of the level of the sur¬ 
face of the trench, which should be filled 
with light soil. It requires about one month 
to force the root. The heads are then cut 
off with a small portion of the neck of the 
root attached. We recommend this vegeta¬ 
ble to those who enjoy a salad of exceptional 
flavor. It can be easily grown if these direc¬ 
tions are carefully followed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
20c; % lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.50. 
Gill TIIRF is S rown in nearly the same 
t/UUUKt. way as common celery and like 
this vegetable, requires good rich, moist, 
mellow, and well-manured soil. It is gener¬ 
ally sown in seed beds in February and can 
be planted until May. When about 4 to 6 
inches high the plants should be removed 
from seed bed and planted 6 inches in the 
rows and the rows should be about 24 
inches apart. Plants require no further at¬ 
tention than frequent watering and it is 
necessary to have the ground well cultivat¬ 
ed and free from weeds. 
CELERIAC, LARGE, SMOOTH PRAGUE.
