CARROT. 
Mohre.—French, 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for 1 acre. 
German, Carotte.—Spanish, Zanahoria. 
The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy 
loam, deeply tilied. It is best to sow on ground that has 
been well manured the previous year for some other crop, 
such as Celery, Potatoes, Onions or Peas, but avoiding such 
crops as Cabbage or Turnips, or any of the tap-rooted section. 
For early and main crops sow the latter part of April; for 
later crops they may be sown any time until the beginning 
of June. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, and half an 
inch deep, thinning out 3 or 4 inches between the plants.

CAULIFLOWER. 
German, Blumen-Kohl.—French, Chou Fleur.— 
Spanish, Coliflor. 
One ounce will sow a bed of 40 square feet, and produce about 
1,000 plants. 
Cauliflower delights in a rich, moist soil, and in dry - 
seasons should be abundantly watered. Sow the first week 
in May, and prick out on a rich piece of ground; transplant 
in July. For wintering under glass, sow in the second and 
last week in September; transplant thickly into a cold pit or 
frame; give plenty of air in mild weather, and cover up well 
in very severe. Again, sow in February on a hot-bed, and 
transplant in April. For Cauliflower, the ground should be 
well prepared by trenching, incorporating at the same time a 
good share of rotten manure. Select new ground, if possible, 
as Cauliflower rarely succeeds on ground which has been 
cropped year after year with other kinds of vegetables. Plant 
in rows, plants 20 inches asunder, and 2 feet between the 
rows.
