of August. The early sowings give fully grown plants, 
whereas the later sowings will furnish delicious, small, 
tender leaves. Frost improves the flavor. Thin to 12 in. 
apart in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart. One pkt. will sow 30 ft. of 
row; 1 oz. 200 ft.

KOHL RABI 
The edible part is the turnip-shaped bulb that grows 
above ground. Combines the flavors of the cabbage and 
turnip and makes a splendid dish if used when 2 to 3 
inches thick. Plant in drills as early as the ground can be 
worked, thinning out to stand 5 to 6 inches in the row. 
For a succession, plant every two weeks till end of April. 
For fall use, plant in August or early September. Kohl 
rabi should be more generally grown.

LETTUCE 
Yq oz. to 100-ft. row: 3 lbs. to acre 
CULTURE. For general crop, sow as early in the spring 
as the ground can be worked in drills 18 inches apart, 
and thin the young plants to 4 inches apart in the row. 
As the plants begin to crowd, thin them out and use as 
required. Keep the soil coustantly loose by frequently hoe- 
ing. Lettuce to be at its best should be grown as rapidly 
as possible, hence the soil should be made as rich as 
possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. 
For winter, sow under glass from November to February 
and thin out as necessary to prevent crowding. Keep a 
moderate heat and give all the light and air possible.

The greens, for which this quick growing plant is 
chiefly raised, are fully as healthful and nourishing as 
spinach. Mustard is related to turnip, and although the 
tops are much alike in richness and flavor, mustard leaves 
are more tender and the stems not so long and coarse. 
Seed may be sown from early spring to midsummer in 
rows 18 inches apart. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the 
rows. The plants are in condition for use as soon as the 
leaves are the size of one’s hand. Mustard runs to seed 
quickly, so that successive plantings are necessary for a 
continuous supply.
