CARROT. (Mochre.) 



The Horn Carrots are grown for early use and in shallow soils; in flavor they are more dcMicate than 



the medium and long varieties. These last require deep soil, thoroufi,hly enriched with old manure; 



Iresh manure tends to produce forked and worm-eaten roots. 



Culture.— l^elore sowinj:;, make the surface smooth and fine. Sow in April or May, in drills about 



an inch deep and about a foot apart. Thin out the plants from three to ei;:rlit inches apart, accordinfz; to

four pounds to an acre.

C AULIFLO VST'ER. ( Blumen Kolil. ) 



Cauliflower is the most delicious of 

 the ^enus Brassica, and they succeed 

 well in any soil where Cabbajjes will 

 grow. They delif^ht in a rich soil and 

 abundance of water. By sowing the 

 early varieties in a hot-bed in Febru- 

 ary or iNIarch, or hvterin a cold frame, 

 fine heads can be obtained quite early. 

 For a later supply, sow seed in a pre- 

 pared bed in May, choosing a cool, 

 moist i)lace. When large enough, 

 transi)lant, making the rows about 

 two-and-a-half feet apart and eighteen 

 inches between the plants. Trans- 

 planting should be done in moist 

 weather, and in a dry time the crop 

 must be watered. The young plants 

 are frequently attacked by a little 

 black beetle; its ravages may be 

 stopped by frequent applications of 

 plaster, dusted on in the morninj:, 

 while the dew is on. One ounce of 

 seed jiroduces about three thousand 



plants. KRONK'S PERFECTION ERFURT.
