Burpees CELTUCE 
Combines the uses and flavors of CELery and LetTUCE 
290 Burpee’s Celtuce belongs to the lettuce family but is entirely different in 
its growth and uses. When plants are young, the leaves may be used as lettuce or as 
boiling ‘‘greens,”’ but its chief value is its central stem or stalk. Whether celtuce 
stalks are to be eaten raw or cooked, you remove the lower leaves and then cut off all 
the outer skin and fibrous layers down to where they become light green and tender. 
Cooked celtuce stalks have a pleasing, mild flavor. Young leaves have 4 times the Vita- 
min C content of head-lettuce leaves. 
These form tightly folded heads, and where the plants are grown 
singly at a suitable distance apart, they make very large, round, 
solid heads which are blanched silvery white or creamy yellow 
in the center.
