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, 
put milder. Delicious when used raw in mixed salads. They are in season during June, July and 
August, 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 and is ready for the table in 60 days from 
seed. Flesh firm but very tender; sweet and delicious. No garden complete without it. (Pkt. {0c) (oz.
