This delicious vegetable should be in every 
vegetable garden. It forms a bulb at the base 
of the stem, akove the ground. Successive 
sowings should be made throughout the 
season and good cultivation is necessary. Use 
the bulbs of Kohl-rabi when they areabout the 
size of an Apple as they become hard and 
stringy if grown too long.

LEEK 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill

vated; it succeeds best in light but well en- 
riched soil. Sow as early in the Spring as 
practicable, in drills 1 inch deep and 1 foot 
apart. When 6 to 8 inches high, transplant in 
rows 10 inches each way, as deep as possible, 
that the neck, being covered, may be blanched.

LETTUCE 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill

little heat and plenty of water and air on fine 
days. Let plants in the beds be about 
4 inches apart. As they increase in size thin 
them out or they will become weak. Plant for 
late use in a cool, partially shaded place 
in rich soil.
