CHINESE CABBAGE (s« ^ 20) 



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 for the production 

 of a good crop.

 blanches easily and makes an attractive appearance.

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.
