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 like those of turnip in-color and tesure! 
The flavor is distinct and in the raw state is considered superior to Cabbage. It combines the 
qualities of both celery and cabbage and is highly prized as a salad vegetable. Plant seed out- 
of-doors at the 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.

CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE: For very early Cauliflower sow in hotbed in January or February; transplant 
to flats or cold frames and set out as soon as the ground is warm in the spring, setting 2 to 2'/o 
feet apart each way. One ounce grows 2,500 plants and four to six ounces plant an acre. Caull- 
flower cannot be expected to mature satisfactorily in hot, dry weather, so must have plenty 
of water, especially when the plants are heading. When the head appears, tie the outer leaves 
over the head or pin these leaves with wood pins or beef skewers so the leaves will shade and 
blanch the head and then cut the head before it starts to branch. Remember, that all the 
enemies of cabbage emphatically attack Cauliflower and are to be combated in like manner. 
For early fall and late Cauliflower, plant in open ground in April, transplanting in June, giving 
same cultivation you would cabbage.
