of Cabbage and Carrot are among our Specialties 



CARDOON 



The stalks require blanching, and the plant is raised much like celery. 

 The rows should be about 4 feet apart, and the plants 2 feet apart in the 

 rows. A rich soil is necessary. The blanched stalks of the inner leaves 

 and the thick, fleshy, tender roots are used as a winter vegetable. 



LARGE SMOOTH Tender, richly flavored, blanches easily, and 

 makes an attractive appearance. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 2 oz. 70c; 1/4 lb. $1.00. 



CARROT 



Carrots, require about the same simple care as beets, they have no 

 serious insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked by disease. Since 

 freshly manured soil often causes divided roots, it is best to plant them 

 in soil that has been richly fertilized the previous season. Plant the 

 seed one-half inch deep in loose, well prepared soil, making rows 16 to 

 24 inches apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants are well established and 

 thin to 2 or 4 inches in the row according to the size of the variety. 

 Plantings may be made from early spring until mid-June. For winter 

 storage the later date is advisable.

CAULIFLOWER 



The same methods that produce good cabbage will 

 grow good cauliflower. The only great difference is that 

 cauliflower heads must be protected from sunlight so as to 

 make sure of the desirable white curd. Gather the tops of 

 the leaves together loosely as soon as the heads begin to 

 form. In shutting off the light, it is important not to 

 cramp the heads.

 in adverse, dry weather. Plants dwarf, short stemmed ; larger than 

 Early Snowball. Heads large, 6 to 7 inches across, commonly
