well grown Cos Lettuce rather 
than Cabbage. It is often called 
Celery Cabbage on the market.

young are crimped at the edges, of 
light green color and appear like 
smooth leaved mustard but with 
much broader and heavier midribs. 
The plant as it matures becomes 
more upright 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. 
The early plantings of Pe-Tsai run 
quickly to seed in hot weather. 
Sow in drills fourteen to twenty 
inches apart and thin seedlings 
two or three times; or if grown for 
the market start in boxes and 
transplant like late cabbage.
