CELTUCE 
BURPEE’S CELTUCE grows easily and quickly, forming a

sown, the central stem or stalk of the plant is usable and 
will be found most tender at this age. Celtuce stalks are 
solid throughout, the skin greenish white and tough but 
the inside is very succulent, most delicate pale green, 
- crisp and brittle. Young Celtuce leaves have 4 times the
