Chinese Improved Coffer 
Of P^.Tooi resembles when well 
e 1Sai grown Cos 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 the 
seedlings two or three times; or if 
grown for the market start in boxes 
and transplant like late cabbage.
