CARDOON. 



German, Kardon. — French, Cordon. — Spanish, Cardo Horiense, 



Cardoon is grown for the mid-rib of the leaf, which requires 

 to be blanched in the same manner as Celery. Sow early in 

 spring, where the plants are to remain, in drills three feet 

 apart, an inch and a half deep, and thin out the young plants to 

 a foot apart in the drills.

 added at the rate of 16 cts. per lb.

CARROT. 



German, Mohre. — French, Carotte. — Spanish, Zanahoria. 

 The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy loam, 

 richly tilled. For early crop sow in spring, as soon as the 

 ground is in good working order; for later crops they may be 

 sown any time until the middle of June. Sow in rows about 

 fifteen inches apart, thinning out to three or four inches 

 between the plants. In field culture, when grown for horses or 

 cattle, the rows should be two feet apart, so that the crop can be 

 worked with the Horse Cultivator. As Carrot seed is slow to 

 germinate, all precautions must be taken. 



If by mail in quantities of }£ lb. and upward, postage must be 

 added at the rate of 16 cts. per lb.

 rich shade of orange, growing very smooth and handsome.

 with the smallest length of root of any now grown.

 five to thirty tons per acre. (See cut., Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15-. 

 cts.; Mlb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.25.

CAULIFLOWER. 



German, Blumen-Kohl. — French, Choufleur. — Spanish, Coliflor:. 



Any soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower, as their ■ 

 requirements are almost similar; but as the product is more 

 valuable, extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be 

 well repaid. 



The seeds may be sown in September and wintered over in . 

 the same manner as described for early Cabbage. Where this- 

 is not practicable, it may be had nearly as well by sowing the 

 seeds in the hot-bed in January or February, and transplanting- 

 the plants at two or three inches apart in boxes or in the soil of 

 another hot-bed, until such time as they are safe to be planted 

 in the open ground, which, in this latitude, is usually from the- 

 15th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened off" 

 they are seldom injured by planting out too early. For further- 

 information, if for private use, see our work, "Gardening for- 

 Pleasure," if for market, see "Gardening for Profit." 



If by mail in quantities of % lb. and upward, postage must be- 



added at the rate of 16 cents per lb.

I planted six acres of Henderson's Early Summer Cabbage this season, and was so well pleased with them that I expect to set out'twen'tj. 

 acres the coming season, and of course want none but the best seed, so as not to make a mistake on a large scale.
