German, Mohre French, Carotte 



Spanish, Zamahoria 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill ; 3 poimds required for an 

 acre 



Culture. — Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil to grow 

 them to perfection. A good, light and well-enriched sandy loam 

 is the best for this crop. For field culture, sow in drills 3 to 

 3'A feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. Market-gardeners 



sow in drills, about iS inches apart, and cultivate by hand. For 

 early crops cover 'i inch deep, and thin to si.x inches apart in 

 the rows : for late, cover 14 incli deep, and thin to four inchen

CAULIFLOWER 



lumentohl Spanish, Coliflor 



French, Choufleur 



G 



erman, 



One ounce will sow a bed of 40 square feet, and produce about 

 . 3,000 plants 



Culture. — When grown to perfection this is a most delicious 

 vegetable, and well repays generous treatment in cultivation. 

 With a deep rich soil and an abundance of moisture, which in 

 dry seasons must be applied art ficially. Cauliflower can be 

 grown well. The cultivation is similar to that of the cabbage. 



For early fall crops, sow in May, and transplant in June, in 

 rows 4 feet apart, setting the plants 2 feet apart in the rows ; 

 water frequently if the ground is dry. Frequent hoe ng and a 

 liberal supply of rich liquid manure, to keep up a cont nuous 

 and rapid growth, will produce splendid heads of the most del- 

 icate flavor. It facilitates blanching if the leaves are gathered 

 loosely together and tierd over the top of the head to protect 

 from the sun. Cut before the Rowers begin to open. Sow as 

 late as June 20 for late crops, in beds or in hills, covering 

 1/2 inch deep.
