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 
appearance, and have a pleasing, mild flavor suggestive 
of celery, lettuce, asparagus, broccoli, zucchini and sum-

SWISS CHARD ‘Swiss Chard, Giant 
Lucullus One of the larg- 
est and best va- 
riety of Swiss Chard. Seed 
sown early in the Spring will 
produce plants quickly from

midribs of the leaves may be 
cut down to the ground. New 
growth will quickly succeed 
it which may in turn be gath-

Chinese Cabbage 
One ounce of seed will sow 400 feet of row. 
4 ounces per acre. 
We advise that the seed be sown in July or August (not 
earlier) because Chinese Cabbage has a tendency to bolt to 
seed in warm weather. Sow where the plants are to re- 
main in rows 2% feet apart, 18 inches apart in the row. 
It is very easily grown and takes very little space. The 
crop matures in from 8 to 10 weeks. 

Chihili This is the new grand strain of Chinese Cab- 
bage. Grows 18 to 24 inches tall and 5 to 7 
inches in diameter, with straight and narrow crown. In- 
terior bleaches creamy white, crisp and delicious. It is 
a good keeper and shipper. We have proven seed. Pkt.
