CHINESE CABBAGE 
This is not a true Cabbage and is often called 
Celery Cabbage on account of the shape of the 
heads which resemble celery. The leaves are more

both celery and cabbage and is highly prized as a 
salad vegetable. Plant seed out-of-doors at the 
Broccoli 
same time as turnips. Thin to 12 to 16 inches apart 
in the rows. If planted too early this species will 
“bolt” during hot weather and fail to form heads.
