KOHL RABI 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row, an ounce 150 feet. 
The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable intermediate between the cabbage and turnip, and combines the 
flavor of each. The edible part is a turnip-shaped bulb formed by the enlargement of the stem. 
When used for the table this should be cut when quite small, as it is then very tender and delicate 
but if allowed to reach its full size it becomes tough and stringy. 
CULTURE. Sow in light, rich soil as early as possible, in drills sixteen inches apart, and when 
well established, thin to six inches apart in the row. One or two plantings at intervals of ten days 
will give a succession until hot weather, when they fail to grow well; but plantings may be made the 
latter part of July for fall use. 
Early White Vienna 
The best table sort if used when the bulbs are 2 inches in diameter. It matures 
very early and produces medium sized, light green bulbs with white flesh of 
excellent quality.

LEEK 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row; an ounce 125 feet. 
This vegetable belongs to the onion family and is a favorite substitute for green onions -n fall 
and winter. It is a tasty addition to soups and stews. Sow early in the spring in rows 12 to 15 inches 
apart, covering 14 inch deep. Thin the plants to 6 inches apart in the rows and draw the earth about 
them when cultivating. If very white and tender leeks are desired, transplant when about 6 inches 
tall to 4 inches apart in trenches 2 feet apart and gradually earth them up like celery. 
Large American Flag 
The most extensively used and highly desirable variety of the strong growing 
type. Plants are dependable and easily cultivated in the home garden. Broad 
leaves, with rather short but very thick stems.

LETTUCE 
HEADING VARIETIES 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet. 
CULTURE. Sow in seed bed as early in spring as the ground can be worked and at intervals 
thereafter. When plants have made 2 or 3 leaves, transplant into rows, 15 inches apart and 1 foot 
apart in the row. For early forcing, sow in hot-bed from commencement to middle of winter. Let- 
tuce requires very rich, moist soil, and will do better when transplanted. For general crop, sow 
out doors as early in the spring as ground can be worked, in drills 18 inches apart and thin to 10 
inches apart in the rows.
