Enjoy Delicious Baby Carrots All Summer by Planting a Short Row Every Two Weeks 

 20 FERRY'SSEEDS 



CARROT 



Carrots require about the same simple care as beets, they 

 have no serious insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked bj' 

 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 



Until lately cauliflower has been con- 

 sidered hard to grow. However, the same 

 methods that produce good cabbage will 

 irrow good cauUflower. The only great 

 difference is that cauliflower heads must 

 be protected from sunlight so as to make 

 sure of the desirable white curd. This is 

 most easily accomphshed by gathering 

 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.
