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.

inches apart in the rows.
