head lettuce are these: 1t has less fibre
and more. water in the same bulk and a
flavor that amalgamates well with any
salad dressing. It is firm of texture
and viii keep longer either on ice or
without refrigeration than any other
salad plant. It will grow and mature
salad heads in the climate of any part
of the United States. A head of petsai
occupies no more space for growing than
a head of lettuce, but it weighs from
two to ten pounds, and some strains pro-
duee from three to six hearts to plant
each big enough for q liberal hotel por-
ton of salad. Petsai grows from seed
just as lettuce is grown. 1t may be
started under glass or indoors for trans
planting as soon as the danger of frost
is past, and can be grown again in the
fail, standing out till killing frosts come.
In the heat of summer it can be grown
successfully under a slight shade. 1t re-
pays careful cultivation and likes a rich
soil, but it is subject. to club root, and the
soil should have little lime. Petsai
should not be planted successfully in the
same spot nor should it follow any of the
cabbage family.
