 spring use. The plants are vigorous and compact, with stem 

 of medium length. They are exceedingly hardy in resisting 

 cold and stand dry weather well. The leaves are distinctly 

 upright in growth, f ewbut rather large, long and narrow, thick

 are medium sized, round, exceptionally solid and stand ship- 

 ment better than any other late sort. Our strain of Hollander 

 is shorter stemmed and produces heads generally larger than 

 other stocks. We offer seed of our own growing which, judging 

 from our trials, will produce more uniformly typical heads 

 than can be grown from stock obtainable elsewhere. Our own

FERRY'S Premium Late Flat Dutch 



^^ p_ Tcai resembles when well 

 @r re- 1 Sai gi-o^^^n ^'os Lettuce 

 rather than Cabbage. It is often called 

 Celery Cabbage on the market. 



The leaves when young are crimped, 

 of light green color and appear like 

 smooth leaved mustard but with much 

 broader and heavier midribs. The 

 plant as it matures becomes more up- 

 right and forms heads much like Cos 

 Lettuce. The inner leaves blanch an 

 attractive light yellow or creamy 

 white with very white midribs. It is 

 of distinctive flavor, very mild and 

 pleasant. It is served as a salad like 

 lettuce or cooked like asparagus. 



Sow in this latitude after July 1st at 

 the same time as turnips. Early plant- 

 ings of Pe-Tsai run quickly to seed in 

 hot weather. Sow in drills fourteen 

 to twenty inches apart and thin two 

 or three times; or if grown for the 

 market start in boxes and transplant 

 like late cabbage. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 35c;
