CARROTS 



(GEIiBEN BUBZSN) 



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, and cover 

 about inch deep. For main crop, sow up 

 to the middle of June in rows 15 to 18

CAULIFLOWER 



(BltUMENKOHI.) 



Cauliflower is, in our opinion, the finest 

 flavored of all the cabbage family and may 

 f-asily be grown in the small garden, pro- 

 viding 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.

CELERY 



For early crops sow the seed in the hot- 

 bed by the middle of February, transplant- 

 ing later to a cold frame and setting out in 

 the garden in late May, 6 inches apart, in 

 trenches about 10 inche.s wide, 6 inches deep 

 and 4 feet apart. For late Celery, sow in 

 March or April and transplant to trenches 

 in late June or July. As the plants attain 

 full size, gradually draw up earth on both
