Tlie Best Cauliflower and Carrots. 



Early Scarlet Horn. 



Improved Long Orange. {9)Jof)ren.) 



Carrots succeed best on light, sandy loam, which, preferably, should 

 have been well fertilized the previous year, as fresh manures often cause the roots to grow pronged and mis- 

 shapen. Sow the seed as early in spring as the ground can be prepared, firming the soil down over it. If sown 

 late it should be soaked in tepid water, then mi.xed with plaster or sifted coal-ashes, and sown upon freshly 

 prepared soil. Quick germination and rapid growth are necessary. An ounce of seed will sow loo feet of 

 drill ; four pounds will sow an acre. 



LBiLY SCABiLUT HORN. Best for forcing and early outdoor crops ; can be grown in shallow soil, and 

 requires no thinning if sparingly sown, as the roots are used when young for cooking. They are about 

 ,5 inches long, and of very good quality. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. locts., Klb. 25 cts., lb. 90 cts.

HOW TO GROW FINE CAULIFLOWER. 



The general outlines of culture for Cauliflower and Cabbage are essentially the same, but 

 to the former e.xtra care given in the wav of supplying fertilizers and moisure well repays the 

 gardener. Sow the seed for earlv and late crops as directed for Cabbage, but do not set the 

 early plants in the open field too soon, for if too much stunted by severe frosts they begin to 

 form heads before they are strong enough to develop them well. Plants which have not headed 

 before winter sets in may be stored in a cool cellar or cold-frame, and will form heads there 

 without any further attention. A deep, loamv soil, with a substratum of moisture during dry 

 weather is most suitable. .A.n ounce of seed will produce about 3,000 plants.
