Do You Knotu Pai.Tsai?

Chinese cabbage, or Pal -tsai, is not
real cabbage but is more like COM
bination of cabbage, kale, and spin
ach, says today's bulletin from the Ma
tional War Garden Commission Of
Washington. 1t is a very fine vege-
table and is well worth including in
every gardeners list. Start the seeds
in seed box and as soon as the plants
are large enough transplant them to the
garden. Set the plants two feet apart
each way. Have the soil rich and cul
tivate well, so as to force rapid, tender
growth. If dry spell threatens to
check their growth it will pay to water
them.
The spring crop is best to use as a
pot herb, cooked like spinach, but the
fall crop heads up better and is more
like cabbage.
The fall crop should be started at
the same time as fall turnips. Plant
the seeds in a seed bed, keep it well
watered and as soon as the plants are
large enough transplant them to the
garden and cultivate thoroughly.

ton book by writing to the National
