{{Inc| Brassica pe-tsai, Bailey. Pe-tsai Cabbage. Numerous radical lvs., large and light green, oblong or ovate-oblong, crinkled and very veiny, and the margins wavy, contracted into a flat and ribbed petiole 1-3 in. wide, which is provided with a wide thin notched or wavy wing; st.-lvs. sessile and clasping: pod of medium size, with a short cone-like beak.—The pe-tsai, or Chinese cabbage, is no longer a novelty in American gardens, although it does not appear to be well known, and its merits are not understood. Its cult, and peculiarities were described in France as long ago as 1840, by Pepin, who says that, while the plant had been known in botanic gardens for 20 years, it was brought to notice as a culinary vegetable only 3 years before he wrote. It appears to have attracted little attention in Eu. until late in the last century, however. It began to attract attention in the U. S. probably about 25 years ago. The lvs. tend to form an oblong loose head, like cos lettuce. Cabbage; also page 3582. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
