Seeds Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs. Sea Kale. KOHL-EABI. (Turnip-Rooted Cabbage.) Kohl-Rabi, Ger. Chou-Rave, Fr. Col de nabo 6 Nabicol, Sp. One ounce of seed for 200 feet of drill. An intermediate vegetable between the Cabbage and Tur- nip. The stem above the ground swells into a bulb somewhat resembling a Turnip; this again is crowned with leaves. The edible part is the bulb, which is dressed and served like Tur- nips, and is very delicate and tender when young. It is very hardy, withstands severe drought, and is a good keeper. Cul- tivate the same as for Cabbage, but in hoeing be careful not to throw earth into the heart of the plant, or the bulb cannot form. Earliest Erfurt.

Flesh white and tender, a stand- ard sort for market, table use or forcing; very short top. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., \ lb. 60 cts., lb. $ Early Purple Vienna. Bluish purple, similar to the above, except in color. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., \ lb. 60 cts., lb. $ LEEK. Lauch, Ger. Poireau, Fr. Paerro, Sp. One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill. The Leek is very hardy, of easy culture, and succeeds best in a light rich soil. The whole plant is edible, and is used in soups, boiled with meat, etc. Considered by many as of more delicate flavor than the Onion. Sow early in April, in drills 1 foot apart, and 1 inch deep. When the plants are 6 to 8 inches high, transplant in a deep rich soil in rows 12 inches apart and 6 inches in the rows, as deep as possible, so that the neck may be covered and blanched; draw the earth to them as they grow.
