THOMAS J. GREY CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE 
Carrot 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 3 lbs. required for 
one acre. 
Cauliflower 
The Carrot flourishes best in a good, light, well enriched 
loam. Where there is a choice of situations, heavy and 
wet soils should be avoided, and preference given to the 
light and dry. For an early crop sow as soon as the ground 
is in good working condition; planting for general crop 
may be made as late as June, but early sowings succeed 
best. The early, small-sized varieties may be sown in drills 
10 inches apart, but the larger sorts require at least 18 
inches between the rows; cover about V 2 inch deep, and 
when the plants are well up, thin to 3 to 4 inches apart. 
As an agricultural root, the Carrot is unsurpassed for 
feeding stock. 
We furnish packets of all varieties of Carrots at 10c each, 
postpaid, except where noted.

The Cauliflower, like the Cabbage, requires a deep, rich 
soil and seldom succeeds well when grown on land long 
under cultivation. Sow the seed in the hotbed in March 
and transplant into the garden in May; set the plants in 
rows and cultivate the same as Cabbage. If the season is 
dry, water often, as Cauliflower cannot be grown to per¬ 
fection without plenty of moisture. 
Danish Perfection. A very early variety of the Dwarf 
Erfurt type. The leaves are long, stand straight up,
