SEED GROWERS 



15 



CHINESE CABBAGE 



Seeds sown out of doors late in July at our Oakview Experimental Gardens near Detroit 

 produce firm mature heads in October. The heads keep well in storage for at least two 

 months. 

 CHIHILI 



Early and very sure heading. Head becomes 18 — 20 in. tall, SVa — 4 in. thick, 



tapered near tip, very firm, well blanched, crisp, tender, and sweet. Superior to 



Chinese Improved or Pe Tsai. 

 WONG BOK 



Heads 8 — 10 in. tall; broad; firm. Well blanched, tender and of excellent quality. 



CARDOON 



LARGE SMOOTH 



A perennial belonging to the same family as Globe Artichoke and grown for the 

 fleshy leaf stalks or midribs. They are cut in fall and winter and grown again the 

 following spring. The plant is about three feet high and grayish green. Frequently 

 the leaves are tied to hasten blanching.

mg size. 



CHANTENAY 



Splendid general purpose carrot; much used in home and market garden and for 

 shipping bunched. Extensively grown for winter storage. Dependably heavy yielder. 

 Roots deep reddish-orange; become 5^2 — 6 in. long, 2V4 in. thick at top; tapered; 

 stump-rooted; flesh deep orange. 



CHANTENAY, Long Type 



A strain of Chantenay bred especially for growing on soils where moisture table 

 is high. Tops shorter than older t5^e Chantenay. Roots definitely longer but fully 

 as large; stump-rooted at maturity. Suitable for bunching or bushel use. 



*CHANTENAY RED CORED (Our Introduction) 



This is a distinct improvement over the well-known Chantenay, especially in color, 

 texture, and quality of flesh and has been accepted with much enthusiasm particularly 

 by canners. Roots deep reddish-orange; SVz — 6 in. long, 2V^ in. thick at the 

 shoulder, tapered, stump-rooted; core reddish-orange, almost the same color as the 

 flesh and so inconspicuous as to make the term coreless seem appropriate; flesh 

 fine grained and tender; of sweet, delicate flavor.
