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 ten- 
der. As a raw vegetable, cut the stalks into 4- or 5- 
inch lengths and split lengthwise; chill and eat as you 
would celery or carrots, with salt or mayonnaise. 
Cooked Celtuce stalks are pale green, attractive in :
