CARROTS 



Deep, light, sandy soil will produce 

 smooth, shapely Carrots, while a heavier 

 clay will grow firmer and better colored 

 roots. For early crop, sow the short-rooted 

 varieties from the first to the middle of 

 April, in rows 12 inches apart, ana cover 

 about y 2 inch deep. For main crop, sow 

 up to the middle of June in rows 15 to 18 

 inches apart. Thin out the plants to stand 

 3 to 4 inches apart. Carrots may be kept 

 for Winter use in the same manner as beets. 

 We particularly recommend Danvers Half- 

 Long and Half-Long Luc for this purpose. 

 One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of row.

Special Early Snowball Cauliflower. 



Chantenay Half-Long Carrots. 



CAULIFLOWER 



Cauliflower is, in our opinion, the finest 

 flavored of all the cabbage family and may 

 easily be grown in the small garden, provid- 

 ing the soil is moderately rich. 



Best heads are grown in rich, moist soil 

 and in cool weather, so it is usually grown 

 as an early Spring or Fall crop. Culture is 

 the same as for cabbage. 



SPECIAL EABLY SNOWBALL. The most 

 reliable and popular extra early Cauli- 

 flower. Compact plants with few outer 

 leaves and large, solid, snowy white heads. 

 Good for forcing as well as outdoors. Pkt., 

 25c; hi oz., $1.00 oz., $3.00. 



Short-Leaved Snowball. A superb early 

 strain of the above with but few outer 

 leaves. Ideal for forcing in frames and 

 for the home garden. Pkt., 25c; hi oz., 

 $1.00; oz., $3.00. 



Danish Dry Weather. A little larger and 

 later than Snowball, but will endure more 

 drought and hot weather. Pkt., 25c; hi 

 oz., $1.00. 



Chinese Celery Cabbage 



Far too few people are acquainted with 

 this delicious Chinese vegetable. It has all 

 the good qualities of both cabbage and let- 

 tuce, with a flavor all its own. It may be 

 cooked like cabbage or cauliflower and 

 served with cream dressing or may be used 

 raw as a lettuce. Heads are oblong in shape 

 and self-blanching. Sow in July or early 

 August, in rows 2 feet apart, and thin or 

 transplant to 1 foot apart in the rows. The 

 heads form best in cool Fall weather and 

 may be stored like cabbage until midwinter. 



One ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of row. 



Fe-Tsai. Heads narrow and very tall. Pkt., 

 10c; oz., 35c; hi lb.. $1.10.
