Vitamins A and C, 
some Calcium and Iron 
A most delicious vegetable which 
combines the rich celery flavor with 
that of the cabbage. Can be cooked 
or eaten raw like celery. Makes as 
good salad as the finest head lettuce. 
The mid-ribs can be cooked like as- 
paragus, and for cole slaw no other 
cabbage compares with it. It is ex-— 
tremely productive, easily grown and 
unexcelled for fall to early winter use 
from seed sown directly in the garden 
in mid-summer. 
CHIHL! (Improved Peking). 
This is the earliest, the surest 
header, and withstands heat better 
than other strains of~Chinese Cab- 
bage. Heads are 18 to 20 inches in 
length and 314 to 4 inches thick; 
solid, white, very crisp and tender, 
and of best quality.

POULTRY CABBAGE OR 
CHINESE CHOKUREI 
Poultry Cabbage is a wonderful green feed for poultry and has been 
known to yield 3 tons in a space 40x60 feet. One-half pound of seed wii!l 
grow enough greens to feed about 1,000 hens for 4 months; 3 pounds to en 
acre for 6,000 hens for 4 months. In the Northern States the seed can 
be sown any time from early spring until the middle of July. In some parts 
of the South the seed may be sown throughout the entire year, or from 
July to September for main crop. Sow in rows 24 inches apart, allowing 
about 2 inches between the seed. Commence feeding when plants are abcut 
4 inches high, pulling out and feeding alternate plants. Continue thinning 
until plants are about one foot apart. These should make heads of 5 to 7 
pounds in 70 days and may be fed immediately or allowed to stay in ground” 
until cold weather. These heads may be fed whole as they are very tender 
and 100 per cent edible. Chopping is not required even for young chick- 
ens. Poultry Cabbage will not discolor the yolks of eggs when fed to laying 
hens. Prices om page 6.
