Chihli Cabbage—A Delicacy , in Growing Demand 
Chinese or Celery Cabbage 
This crisp, attractive vegetable has a flavor all its own. It may be in¬ 
cluded in many salad combinations, or is delightful when stuffed with cream 
cheese dressing. If properly stored will keep well into winter. 
Chinese Cabbages do best when seed is sown in the fall when one sows 
turnips, and succeed better when thinned rather than transplanted. Seed sown 
too early will cause the plants to shoot to seed.

tuce as much as Cabbage, though with a decided cabbage flavor.
