CHINESE CABBAGE 



Chinese or Celery Cabbage belongs to the cabbage family 

 but more closely resembles lettuce. For best results plant 

 the seed late in July or very early in August as spring plant- 

 ings in this section are liable to bolt to seed. Plant the 

 seed in the permanent bed and thin out to stand 12 to 16 

 inches apart.

compact and the crisp, tender interior blanches to a creamy 

 white. It will stand long before bolting to seed and is not 

 injured by light frosts. 



CAULIFLOWER 



1 ounce to 2,000 plants. 



For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot- 

 bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3 

 inches apart, thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigor- 

 ous growth before being set in the permanent rows. 



As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the 

 open ground in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart 

 in the row. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop 

 sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so 

 that the early crop heads before very hot weather and the 

 late crop matures after hot weather.

Chinese or Celery Cabbage 



CELERIAC 



Sow seed and cultivate same as celery, 

 with the exception that it is not neces- 

 sary to blanch the plants. When the 

 roots attain a diameter of two inches 

 they are fit for use. To keep these 

 through the winter, pack in damp earth 

 or sand and store them in a cellar or 

 leave them out of doors, covering with 

 earth and straw for protection.
