CABBAGE 
No. 107. Perfection Drumhead Savoy (90 Days) 
■ Continued 
Chinese Petsai or Celery Cabbage 
A wonderful salad plant, growing 15 or 
16 inches high, somewhat resembling cos 
lettuce or probably more like swiss chard. 
It yields an unusual amount of most ex¬ 
cellent salad. Cut up like cabbage and 
served with mayonnaise or French dress¬ 
ing, it makes a splendid cole-slaw. Can be 
boiled like cabbage if cooked quickly and 
served with cream sauce, but is without 
the strong flavor and odor of cabbage. The 
hearts blanch to a crystalline white; whiter 
than lettuce and more beautiful than cab¬ 
bage—every leaf, including the outside 
ones, is delicate and tender. 
Be sure to plant some just to know how 
good it is. 
Plant early in the spring and again in 
July and August, transplanting 18 inches 
apart in 2%-foot rows. Time your spring 
planting so it will head before hot weather; 
it heads in 80 to 90 days. 
No. 114. Wong Bok (80 Days)—We 
regard Wong 
Bok as the most desirable of all the pet- 
sais. The rich creamy white heads are 
tightly folded. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; ]4 lb. 45o;

Should be grown in 
every garden. No other 
winter cabbage can com¬ 
pare with it in flavor, par¬ 
ticularly after it has been 
touched by frost when it 
is equal to cauliflower. If 
you grow them once you 
will never want to be 
without them. To have 
the finest solid hard heads 
do not plant till May, 
June or early in July, as 
it will not head up hard 
during very hot weather.

Oone of the most popular Southern vegetables; largely used in place of cabbage. It 
is hardier and easier to grow than cabbage, can be grown on poorer soil and withstands

row and given frequent cultivation. A most excellent vegetable for the late fall, win¬ 
ter and early spring. The flavor is improved by frost. Cultivate like late cabbage.
