WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CARROT 



Carotte. Zanahoria. SKofnxn. 

 One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 2 to 3 pounds required for an acre. 



Avoid sowing on newly manured ground, which has a tendency to produce forked 

 roots; the land should, therefore, be manured the previous season. For early crops 

 sow as soon as the ground can be worked, and for later crops from the beginning 

 until the end of May, in rows 15 inches apart and Yz inch deep. Thin out the 

 young plants to 5 inches, and keep the surface open by a frequent use of the hoe. 



For field culture, sow in drills from 20 to 30 inches apart, and when plants are 1 to 

 2 inches high, thin out to from 4 to 8 inches apart in the rows. An important fea- 

 ture in sowing Carrots, as in all other seeds, is firming the seed in the soil ; this 

 may be done with foot or spade. 



If to be forwarded by mail, add at the rate of Sc. per pound for postage.

Carrot, Danvers Half-Long Orange 



Cauliflower, Elliott's Early Snowball 



CAULIFLOWER 



Chou-Fleur. Coliflor. SButmenfof)!. 

 One ounce will sow a bed of 40 square feet, producing 2000 plants. 



This crop will grow in any soil that suits Cabbage. Sow the 

 seed in a hotbed in January or February, and when the plants are 

 large enough transplant 3 inches apart in boxes or hotbeds until 

 time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom injured by plant- 

 ing out as early as the ground can be properly prepared. Set in 

 rows 2 feet apart and 2 feet between the rows. Keep them well 

 hoed, and bring the earth gradually up to the stems, watering freely 

 in dry weather, and especially when they begin to head. Cauli- 

 flower will not head in hot, dry weather, therefore planting should be 

 regulated so that it will head early in Summer or Autumn.

 producing magnificent w'hite heads of the finest quality. The 

 standard variety for general use. Pkt. 25c, Y oz. 75c, oz. $2.50.

market purposes. Pkt. 10c, oz. 60c.

 with well-formed white heads of extra quality. Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c. 

 Large Algiers. An extra fine late variety of the best quality, suit- 

 able for market and sure to head. Plant large, of upright growth,
