ACORN BRAND GARDEN SEEDS 
Swiss Chard 
A summer, winter green. It takes only a short time 
from the planting until the white ribbed leaves are ready, 
and you can pick it all summer. And the large white 
stalks may be served like Asparagus and are as tender 
and tasty. Cultivate like beets except thin plants to 8 or 10 
inches apart. 
LUCULLUS —The stalks are one and one-half inches 
broad and about 10 to 12 inches long. The large heavy 
leaves are of fine flavor. The advantage of this sort is the 
rapidity with which it sends out new leaves.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
A delicious vegetable that is becoming very popular in 
all markets. It should be more largely grown in private 
gardens, as it affords fresh green sprouts in the late fall 
and winter when other vegetables are gone. It is culti¬ 
vated like cabbage. Small shoots like miniature cabbages 
clustered around a stem. 
DWARF IMPROVED —This low growing sort is the 
favorite. The plants are from 18 to 24 inches tall and 
produce compact rounded, grayish green sprouts of good 
size and quality.

CABBAGE 
Soil should be a rich heavy loam. For early spring trans¬ 
planting, seed should be sown in boxes indoors from Febru¬ 
ary 15th to March 15th. They should be spaced 3 inches 
apart when transplanted into boxes and should be gradu¬ 
ally hardened by exposure to cooler outdoor conditions. 
Transplant in the open as soon as ground can be properly 
prepared. The days after each variety show the average 
number required to produce mature heads from the time 
the young plants are set in the ground. If late varieties 
are planted they should be ready to set out in open 
ground during the month of May. The plants of early vari¬ 
eties should be set in rows 2 feet a part and 18 inches 
apart in the row; medium and late varieties in rows 3 
feet apart and from 18 to 24 inches apart in the row.

PE TSAI OR CHINESE CABBAGE 
Pe-Tsai will not thrive in hot weather so planting 
should not be made until after the first of August. The 
seed is then sown directly where it is to be raised. Thin to 
12 to 16 inches in rows. The inner leaves blanch quite 
easily. The large midribs are crisp and blanch much like 
celery.

CARROTS 
Sow the seed in rows 16 to 24 inches apart as early in 
the spring as the soil can be worked, being careful not to 
cover the fine seeds too deeply. The seed is a slow germi- 
nator. Should be well firmed in the ground after planting. 
Keep free from weeds and cultivate frequently. When the 
plants are 3 inches high, thin 2 to 4 inches apart.

to head before hot weather. The heads will be improved if 
the leaves are tied over them when beginning to form.

through them. 52 days.

CELERY 
Sow seeds in boxes for early planting; later plants 
may be produced from seeds sown in frames or open 
ground. Transplant four inches apart, when three inches 
high; water and protect until well rooted, then trans¬ 
plant into rows for garden culture 18 inches to 2 
feet apart; and see that plants receive thorough cultiva¬ 
tion and abundant moisture. They may be set either on the 
surface or in well manured trenches one foot in depth. To 
blanch, draw earth around the plants, being careful not to 
cover the tops of the center shoots. Durjng the late spring 
we are always able to supply a variety of Celery Plants.

licious celery; it excels all other yellow varieties. More 
dwarfed, larger bunches with broad, heavy stalks, which 
blanch into a rich appetizing, golden yellow.
