FERRY'S SEEDS 



Red Cored Chantenay 



CARROT 



Carrots contain large amoiuits of those elements which the 

 human body needs for health and strength. They 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 fertihzed 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 estabhshed 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 



For many years cauliflower has been considered one of the 

 most dehcious vegetables, but imtil lately it was thought to 

 be hard to grow. However, it is now known that the same 

 methods that produce good cabbage will grow good cauliflower. 

 The only great difference in culture is that cauliflower heads 

 must be protected from sunlight so as to make sure of the de- 

 sirable white curd. This is most easily accomplished by gather- 

 ing 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.
