GOLDEN ACRE 
CHINESE OR CELERY CABBAGE 
Not a true cabbage; resembles Cos lettuce 
somewhat. May be served like lettuce, or, 
when shredded, makes a delicious cole slaw. 
Boiled, it is far more palatable than ordinary 
cabbage. Where summers are cool, seed may 
be sown in spring, but in the vicinity of 
Philadelphia, seeds sown early in August have 
proved to give the best results. Makes full- 
size heads in about 70 days after sowing. 
PE-TSAI. Large, light green outer leaves. 
The thick, pure white heart is tender, juicy, 
and has an agreeably pungent flavor. Heads 
grow 10 to 12 inches tall. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., S30c; oz., 50c; % Ib., 
$1.25; Y% l1b., $2.25. 
WONG BOK. Short, broad, tightly folded, 
well-blanched heads 8 to 10 inches high. 
Excellent quality, crisp and delicious. 
Pkt., 10c; 4% 0z., 30c; oz, 50c; %4 Ihb., 
$1.25; YY lb., $2.25. 
CHIHLI. Deserves to be largely planted as 
it is an early and sure-heading Chinese 
Cabbage, growing 18 to 20 inches tall and 
about 3% to 4 inches thick. The firm, well- 
blanched, white heads taper near the top. 
Leaves are broad, smooth and fringed at 
the edges. For market and roadside sales, 
Chihli is extensively grown, for the large 
attractive heads.

CELTUCE 
BURPEE’S CELTUCE. Grows easily and 
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 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 
Vitamin OC content of head-lettuce leaves.

of the leaves.

latter does not develop heads on account of 
hot weather. Three feet.

fall, winter, and spring use. The leaves 
are used as a substitute for lettuce and 
spinach. During August or September sow 
the seed in shallow drills about 1 foot apart, 
covering with about %4 inch of fine soil firm- 
ly pressed down. On the approach of severe
