02809 PAK CHOY White Stem. You can't go wrong … try PAK CHOY for only 95 cents. So many of our customers have never tried growing it, we thought we'd make it easier by pricing the seed at just 95 cents per packet. Often called "Bok Choy" in grocery stores, it’s very popular for Oriental cooking, especially stir-fry. Crispy, celery-like white stalks and rounded, glossy green leaves are delicious. Flavor is quite mild with just a hint of mustard. Good raw, too. Grows real fast, producing upright clusters of 6 to 12 stalks. Loves cool weather, so plant as early as you can work up the garden. Make successive small plant- ings one week apart for 3 weeks, then quit planting to avoid maturity when the weather is too hot. Plant again in the fall when temperatures moderate. 45 days. (A) Pkt. 95 cents.
certifi cate, we'll send it to you and you present it to the lucky recipient on that spe- cial date. They'll love you for it. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3. Decide on the dollar amount (minimum $5.00, please). Write in the amount on the Shumway order form (Cata- log #54500) in
