CARROT 



Pkts. 5c each; oz. 20c/ V4 lb. 50c (Unless otherwise stated) 



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

 insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked by disease. Since freshly man- 

 ured 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.

Pkts. 1 0c each; Vi oz. 60c 



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 ofT the light, it is 

 important not to cramp the heads.
