Chinese Cabbage 
This is not a true cabbage and is sometimes called 
Celery Cabbage because of the shape of the heads. 
The leaves are more like those of turnip in color and 
texture and are splendid when used for greens. The 
creamy white heads consist mainly of the base of the 
leaves which have an extremely broad or expanded 
mid-rib and are decidedly tender, fine in flavor and 
equal in quality to Swiss Chard. Sow seed in late 
August or September and thin plants to 10 to 15 
inches in the rows which should be 2 ft. apart. This 
Cardoon or Cardoni 
Chinese Cabbage, Pe Tsai 
species will “bolt’’ or fail to form heads during hot

and resemble a celery head when outer leaves are

CARDOON or CARDONI 
This vegetable is highly prized by the Italian people 
and is increasing in popularity in the American home 
as it becomes better known. The full grown plant 
somewhat resembles a mature Artichoke plant. The 
stalks may be boiled until tender, then fried in an egg 
batter or used in stews. Stalks require blanching and 
should be grown somewhat like Celery spaced 2 feet 
in rows which are 4 feet apart. Sow seed in March or 
April, transplanting to field when plants are strong 
enough. Good rich soil is best, as these plants are 
gross feeders.
