If you haven't tried chicory as a salad plant, start some this 

 year. This is Asparagus or Radichetta. 



CELERIAC

 common celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil, in rows 2 feet 

 apart and 6 inches apart in row. Give thorough cultm-e. It is 

 not necessary to earth up or "handle" the plants. After the 

 roots have attained a diameter of 2 inches, they are fit for use.

 rooted celery producing large tubers of nearly globular 

 shape and comparative^ smooth surface.

 parsley, and many consider it superior in flavor The young 

 leaves are used in soups and for flavoring and garnishing meats 

 and vegetables. Sow in early spring in rich, well prepared soil. 

 The seed is slow to germinate, sometimes remaining in the earth 

 2 or 3 weeks before the plants appear. '^Tien the plants are about 

 2 inches high, transplant or thin to about 1 foot apart. They are 

 ready for use in 6 to 10 weeks from sowing.

 fragrance and flavor. It grows vigorously and matures early.

CHICORY 



LARGE ROOTED or COFFEE The roots are popular as a 

 coffee substitute. Tt,e young leaves may be used for salad. 

 Our improved stock is large, smooth, white, and com- 

 paratively short rooted. Sow seed as early in the spring 

 as the ground can be prepared, in rather hght, moderately 

 rich soU, in rows 2 to 23-i feet apart. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; V4 lb. 90c. 



ASPARAGUS or RADICHETTA The tops of this variety 

 of chicory are very desirable for salad. The leaves are 

 long and narrow, blanching readily when plants are set 

 close together. The tops are also valuable as a chicken 

 tonic. Sow seed as early in the spring as possible, preferably 

 in wide strips or blocks. Where chmate permits, seed may 

 be sown about midwinter. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; 1/4 lb. $1.50. 



WITLOOF or FRENCH ENDIVE This variety has become 

 very popular for winter salads. It forms a delicious dish 

 when served like endive or cos lettuce with French dressing. 

 The leaves and stems blanch easily. 



Sow the seed about 1 inch deep in the open ground in 

 May or June in rows about 18 inches apart. In the fall the 

 roots should be hfted, the leaves trimmed to within \]/2 

 inches of the crown, and the main roots shortened to a 

 uniform length of about 9 inches. They are then placed 

 upright 2 inches apart in a trench about 18 inches deep. 

 Fill the trench with fine rich soil. The following spring the 

 new tops will reach the proper size in 4 to 6 weeks. 

 Pkt. 5c;oz. 35c; 1/4 lb. $1.00. 



CHINESE CABBAGE 



This is not a true cabbage and is often called Celery Cabbage 

 because in shape the heads resemble celery. The leaves are more 

 like those of turnip in color and texture. The flavor is distinct. 

 It combines the qualities of both celery and cabbage and is 

 highly prized as a salad vegetable. Plant seed out of doors at the 

 same time as turnip. Thin 12 to 16 inches apart in the rows. If 

 planted too early, this species will "bolt" during hot weather 

 and fail to form heads. 



CHIHLI Earl}' and sure heading. Head becomes 18 to 20 

 inches tall, 3^-2 to 4 inches thick, tapered near tip, _ very 

 firm, well blanched, crisp, tender, and sweet. Superior to 

 Chinese Improved or Pe Tsai. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; 2 oz. 50c; Vi lb. 90c. 



WONG BOK Heads 8 to 10 inches tall; broad; firm. Well

 is grown in different sections of the South as "Cole," "Colewort," 

 or simply "Greens." It is much used for the table as weU as 

 for stock feeding. 



Sow the seed thickly in rows in rich ground, transplanting 

 when about 4 inches in height; or sow where the plants are to 

 remain, and when well started thin to 2 or 3 feet apart in the 

 row. In the South, seed may be sown from Januarj' to May and
