Early Snowball Cauliflower 
CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce for 3,000 plants 
M. Culture. — Same as for Cabbage, excepting that 
extra manure and plenty of water will pay on Cauli- 
flower. If the soil be dry, water frequently, and 
have the plants covered with a heavy mulch of hay 
or straw; it will keep the soil moist and the plants 
will not suffer from drought. The early kind should 
be strong enough to plant out not later than the 
middle of April. The late kind may be planted out 
the same as for cabbage.

CARROTS 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 3 or 4 pounds

Culture. — Carrots to grow in perfection re- 
quire a rich, deep sandy loam, well pulverized and 
deeply cultivated. For an early crop sow in May 
and June in drills about I foot apart, thinning out to 
4 inches in the row. Sow for main crop in June and 
July. The large late variety for field culture should 
be sown in drills 3 to $A inches apart so as to cul- 
tivate by horse. An important point in sowing 
Carrots (as in all other seeds) is to tread the rows 
firmly after sowing.
