| CELTUCE 
Celtuce is easy to grow. 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 central stem or stalk is usable and will 
z be found most tender at this age. The stalks are solid throughout, the 
skin greenish white and tough but the inside is very succulent, most 
delicate pale green, crisp and brittle. Make first sowing of seed as soon 
as ground can be worked in the spring. Succession sowings at intervals 
of a week or ten days will give a continuous supply. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 30c.
