HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



21 



CHINESE, or CELERY CABBAGE 



It really is not a Cabbage, but a Mustard, forming a compact, 

 elongated, tightly folded head as illustrated above. Well 

 grown heads will weigh from 5 to 8 lbs. and are good all the way 

 through. They are delicious served as a salad with a French 

 dressing, or served like Cold Slaw, with Mayonnaise. The green 

 portion of the leaves may also be served like Spinach, while the 

 heavy midribs with a boiled dressing are very palatable like Swiss 

 Chard, or Asparagus. Seed should be sown in drills 20 inches 

 apart, and when plants have made sufficient growth, thin out to 

 15 inches apart in the row. Sow end of July or early in August. 

 Wong Bok. The heads of this variety are broader than Pe-Tsai, 



and leaves fold tighter, making a more compact plant. Pkt.,

green slightly crimped outer leaves and white ribs, which are
