The edible part is the turnip-shaped bulb 
formed above the ground. It is tender and ex- 
cellent when used before being fully grown, 
combining somewhat the flavors of cabbage 
and turnips. Seed should be sown in light, 
rich soil as early in spring as possible in 
rows 1% feet apart and when well established 
thin to 6 inches apart in the row. Plantings 
at intervals of 10 days will give a succession 
until hot weather, when they fail to grow 
well. Plantings made the latter part of July 
for fall use.
