CARROTS 



(SJfoBren) 



Carrots succeed best on heavy 

 loam, which preferably should have 

 been well fertilized the previous year, 

 as fresh manure often causes the 

 roots to grow pronged and mis- 

 shapen. Sow the seed early in the 

 spring, firming the soil down over it. 

 An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of 

 drill; four pounds will sow an acre. 



If wanted by mail, add 8 cts. per 

 pound for postage on quantities of 

 one-half pound and up.

CELERIAC, or TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY 



(SnoIIen ©ellerte) 



Sow in early spring; transplant the seedlings in May. They will be ready for cooking 

 in October, and may be preserved in dry sand for use during winter. Celeriac is said to 

 be as fine a nerve-tonic as celery, and can be grown in many sections where celery-culture 

 is practically impossible. The roots have almost the same flavor as white celery stalks, 

 while they keep much longer than celery. An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants. 



PRAGUE GIANT. Roots are very large. When young, they are quite tender and 

 marrow-like, having a very fine flavor and cooking quickly. Pkts. 5 cts. and 10 cts.,
