Kohl Babi

Kohl-Babi, or Turnip-Cabbage (Brassica oleracea caulo-rapa), is a biennial race of cabbages with the upper part of the stem swollen like a turnip, but produced above ground, green and bearing leaves with wide bases to their stalks. It is very hardy, standing either drought or frost. It is better adapted for strong soils and for dry, hot climates than is the turnip. Cattle and sheep are fond of it.
