Frequently called celery lettuce on 
account of its erect habit of growth. 
Plants are large, about 8 or 9 
inches tall and should be thinned 
to about 8 inches apart in the rows 
so that each one will have plenty 
of room. The outer leaves are 
medium light green, the interior 
whitish green. As a salad variety 
for the home garden, it has no 
superior. Pkt Oc oze2 oc:
