It really is not a cabbage but a Mustard, forming a compact, elongated, tightly folded head as illustrated alongside. Well grown heads of Wong Bok will weigh from 5 to 8 lbs. and are good all the way through. They are de- licious served as a salad with a French dressing, or served like Cold Slaw, with Mayonnaise. The green portion of the leaves may also be served like Spinach, while the heavy midribs with a boiled dressing are very palatable like Swiss Chard, or Asparagus. Wong Bok is entirely self folding and the heads need no tying up or blanching of any kind. The trimmed head as shown alongside simply had a half dozen loose outer leaves removed before the photograph was taken. Should not be sown before August 1.
