Pe-Tsai, Chinese Cabbage 
Chinese Cabbage 
Pe-Tsai. 70 flays. This delicious Chinese vegetable belongs 
to the Cabbage family and closely resembles a well-grown 
Cos lettuce, but is heavier. We advise that the seed be sown 
about August 1 (not earlier). Either start in frames and 
transplant or simply sow where the plants are to remain in 
rows, iy 2 feet apart, thinning to 1 foot apart in the row. The 
light green, crumpled-leaved heads are very tender and of a 
delicious flavor. 
Cauliflower 
Sow the seeds for early and late Cauliflower crops as directed 
tor cabbage, but do not set the early plants in the field too 
soon, lor if too much stunted by severe frosts, they begin to 
form heads before they are strong enough to develop them 
well Plants which have not headed before winter sets in mav 
be stored in a cool ce lar or coldframe, and will form heads 
there without any further attention. A deep, loamy soil, with 
P, SU ^ Str ^ tUt ru° f moist . u . re during dry weather is most suitable 
tor the Cauliflower. Market-gardeners find this one of their 
most profitable crops, and amateurs who undertake its culture 
I1 ? n T ea sy; but it is a crop in which carelessness or neglect 
will interfere with the best results.
