CAULIFLOWER 



How to Crow Fine Cauliflower. The general outline 

 former extra care given in applying fertilizers and moisture 



(SBtumenfo&l) 



of culture for Cauliflower and cabbages are essentially the same, but to the 

 epays the gardener. Sow the seeds for early 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 thev are strong enough to develop them well. 

 Plants which have not headed before winter sets in may be 

 stored in a cool cellar or eoldframe, and will form heads there 

 without any further attention. A deep, loamy soil, with a 

 substratum of moisture during dry weather, is most suitable 

 for the Cauliflower. Market-gardeners find this one of their 

 most profitable crops. An ounce of seed will produce about 

 1,500 plants.

CARROTS 



(3ftof>ren) 



Carrots succeed best on heavy loam, which, preferably, 

 should have been well fertilized the previous year, as fresh 

 manure often causes the roots to grow pronged and misshapen. 

 Sow the seed as early in the spring as the ground can be pre- 

 ked in tepid water, then mixed with 

 Quick germination and rapid growth are
