Savoy Cabbage 



210 Perfection Drumhead Savoy. The largest, solid 

 heading Savoy and our strain is the best procurable. The 

 plants are strong and vigorous, deep green, and heavily

 we highly recommend it. Pkt. 10c; \ oz. 25c; oz. 40c;

Swiss Chard 



Poiree, Fr. Bleda, Sp. 



Bieta, Ital. Beisskohl, Ger. 



Culture— This wholesome vegetable 

 belongs to the same class as the beet root 

 but it has been bred and selected to make 

 a large quantity of luscious, rich green 

 foliage. It is a valuable vegetable taking 

 the place of Spinach all during the late 

 summer and early fall months. Sow in 

 drills 1 foot apart as early in the spring 

 as the ground can be worked and cover the 

 seed one inch deep. Thin the young plants 

 to stand 6 inches apart in the row. Make 

 succession sowings 2 weeks apart until the 

 middle of July. The white midribs are 

 splendid creamed. Also highly relished by 

 chickens. Sow one ounce to 100 feet 

 of row. 



167 Giant Lucullus. Start cutting 

 in about 6 weeks after sowing and 

 continue until frost. Makes large, 

 curly, light green leaves. Thick, 

 light-colored, mid-ribs which are 

 delicious when cooked and served 

 like asparagus, while the leafy parts 

 make excellent "greens." Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 20c; i lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



169 Lyons. This produces darker 

 green and more heavily curled 

 leaves than Giant Lucullus. See 

 Specialties, page 2. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 20c; i lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



Chinese or Celery Cabbage 



Chinese Cabbage really is not a Cabbage but a Mustard, 

 forming a compact, elongated, tightly folded head that is good 

 all the way through. Delicious served as salad with French 

 dressing, or like cole slaw, with mayonnaise. The green portion 

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

 midribs are very palatable cooked like Swiss Chard or Asparagus. 

 We offer the two best sorts. Seeds should not be sown before the 

 middle of July, as early grown plants soon shoot to seed. 



222 Wong Bok. This produces a large, broad, solid, and com- 

 pact head. Wong Bok is entirely self folding and the 

 heads need no tying up or blanching of any kind. Pkt. 10c; 

 \ oz. 25c; oz. 40c; \ lb. $1.00. 



223 Improved Peking. Long, narrow, tightly folded heads 

 of fine quality. See Specialties, page 2. Pkt. 10c; 

 | oz. 25c; oz. 40c; { lb. $1.00.

Chou Coba, Fr.

 Cabu, Sp. 

 Futlerkohl, Ger. 



Culture — Sow the seed at the 

 same time as late Cabbage, about 

 the middle of May. The crop of 

 greens may be grown directly in 

 the seed rows or the plants may 

 be transplanted to stand 2 feet 

 apart in the row. The flavor of 

 this splendid wholesome green is 

 greatly improved after it has 

 been frosted. One ounce of seed 

 will produce about 2000 plants.
