CELTUCE 
Celtuce belongs to the lettuce family 
but is entirely different in its growth and 
uses. The young leaves may be eaten as a 
salad, but its chief value is its central stem 
or stalk. 
Whether Celtuce stalks are to be eaten 
raw or cooked, you must first remove all 
the outer skin and fibrous layers down to 
where they become light green and tender. 
As a raw vegetable, cut the stalks into 4- 
or 5-inch lengths and split lengthwise; 
chill and eat as you would celery or car- 
rots, with salt or mayonnaise. 
Cooked Celtuce stalks are pale green, at- 
tractive in appearance, and have a pleas- 
ing, mild flavor. 
Winter Queen. 
Celtuce is easy to grow in the home gar- 
den and is well adapted for market and 
shipping. Plants grow quickly, forming a 
rosette of light green leaves which may be 
used, when young, as “greens.” In less 
than 90 days after seed is sown, the cen- 
tral stem or stalk is usable and will be 
found most tender at this age. The stalks 
are solid throughout, the skin greenish 
white and tough but the inside is very suc- 
culent, most delicate pale green, crisp and 
brittle. Make first sowing of seed as soon 
as ground can be worked in the spring. 
Succession sowing at intervals of a week 
or ten days will give a continuous supply. 
Grow Celtuce—it is new, it is good, it is 
interesting and it is healthful; the best 
new vegetable for 1943.
