THE NANKING CABBAGE, A WINTER VARIETY OF PAI TS'AI. 

 (BRASSICA PEKINENSIS. SEE S. P. I. NO. 45189.) 



The dark-green bullate foliage with clear white midribs, long, wide, 

 blanched stalk* and celerylike habit make this variety, which is 

 cultivated, for greens, very attractive. Sown out in the fall, 

 it should make an excellent early winter crop for the South 

 Atlantic and (iulf States. (Photographed by Mr. Bisset at Brooks-
