CHINESE CABBAGE 
Pe-Tsai (Improved Chinese Cabbage). The marked appearance of 
this Cabbage in quantity the past few years has created a wide¬ 
spread demand for the seed. It is very easily grown and does well 
in nearly all parts of the country. It should be grown like a late 
Cabbage, planting in July (Turnip planting time), as early plant¬ 
ings run quickly to seed. The seed is sown in drills 16 to 20 in. 
apart and the seedlings thinned two or three times. The full grown 
plant somewhat resembles a Cos Lettuce in appearance. It has a 
mild flavor and may be eaten raw or as a salad, or cooked. Boiled, 
minced and seasoned with butter, it is especially delectable.

CAULIFLOWER PLANTS— See page 21. SWEET OR SUGAR CORN 
1 quart will plant 200 hills, 8 quarts in hills to acre 
Sugar Corn varies in weight according to variety. We have 
decided to list 44 lbs. as a bushel, except Adams, Truckers Favor¬ 
ite and Red Cob or 90 Day, which weighs 56 lbs. to bushel. 
Culture —The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in 
cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until 
the ground has become warm; for a succession, continue planting 
every two weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well manured 
ground, in hills 3 ft. apart each way, covering about 34 in. and 
thin out to 3 plants to a hill. Extra early varieties can be planted 
18 in. in the row and 234 ft. between the rows. The field varieties 
should be planted 4 ft. apart each way, leaving 3 plants to a hill.
