CARROTS 



(GEI.BI:N RUBEIT) 



Deep, light, sandy soil will produce 

 smooth, shapely Carrots, while a heavier 

 clay will srow 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, and cover 

 about hi 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. 

 One ounce of seed will bow 100 feet of row.

CAULIFLOWER 



( Bi;uMEnrKOHZ^ ) 



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.
