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. 
CHIHLI. 73 days. Deserves to be largely 
planted as it is an early and sure-heading 
Chinese Cabbage, growing 18 to 20 inches 
tall and about 34 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.
