Carrots 
One ounce will sow 100 
feet of drill; 3 to 4 lbs. 
for an acre. 
CULTURE. Carrots may be sown in hot¬ 
beds in February for early use. In open 
ground from March to first of July; however, 
main crop will produce best results if sown 
from first of May to first of July. Thin out 
early plantings to 5 inches apart in the row 
and main crop 6 to 8 inches apart. The rows 
should be 10 inches apart for early crop and 
15 to 18 inches for main crop. Cultivation 
should be carefully performed to keep down 
the weeds, and deep hoeing between the rows 
will give a large increase in the crop. Carrot 
tops, cut from young plants, may be used for 
garnishing. 
Ox Heart, or Guerande. Especially desirable 
for clay soil. Root is short and thick and 
flesh is bright orange in color. Heart is 
tender and not woody. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %

ties. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.

oz. 10c; Vx lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
Cauliflower 
Early Snowball Cauliflower 
Celery 
One ounce will produce 3,000 plants. Cultural 
directions for Cabbage apply to this crop, but the 
soil should be more heavily manured. Keep ground 
well hoed, and bring earth gradually up to stems. 
Water freely, especially when they begin to head. 
Never allow plants to become crowded in seed-bed; 
transplant them with great care, as any check will 
injure, if not prevent formation of the head. 
For late Cauliflower set plants in a cool, moist place. 
When heads form, the long leaves should be drawn 
over and tied above them, to keep off sun and rain. 
Henderson’s Early Snowball. One of the best types 
on the market. Its compact habit of growth ren¬ 
ders it a very profitable variety to force under 
glass, and it does well for late planting, as well 
as for early crops. A sure header. Pkt. 15c; *4 
oz. 60c; oz. $1.80; 2 ozs. $3.40'; -V4 lb. $6.00. 
Early Paris. Medium 
size. Pkt. 10 c; V\ 
oz. 30c; oz. 80c; *4 
lb. $2.50; lb. $8.00. 
One ounce 
will produce 
from 5,000 to 10,000 plants. 
CULTURE. The conditions necessary for successful 
Celery cultivation are good seed, plenty of manure and com¬ 
plete fertilization, moisture and cultivation. The most suit¬ 
able soil is rich loam, finely pulverized and highly enriched 
with 30 to 40 loads to the acre of good stable manure. Sow 
seed in boxes for early planting; later plants may be pro¬ 
duced from seeds sown in frames or open ground. Trans¬ 
plant 4 inches apart when 3 inches high, water and protect 
until well rooted, then transplant into rows for garden cul¬ 
ture 18 inches to 2 feet apart, for field culture in rows 
4 to 6 feet apart; set the plants from 8 to 12 inches apart, 
supply plenty of moisture and see that plants receive thor¬ 
ough cultivation. They may be set either on the surface or 
in well manured trenches 1 foot in depth. To blanch draw 
earth around the plants, being careful not to cover the tops 
of the center shoots. 
Giant Pascal. By far the most popular Celery. Medium to 
small size, but wonderfully well flavored. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; 
Vx lb. 80o; lb. $2.50. 
Golden Self Blanching. Blanches easily and larger than 
Pascal. Pkt. 1,0c; oz. 50c; *4 lb. $1.50; lb. $5.25. 
Celeriac 
(Turnip-Rooted 
Celery) 
CULTURE. Grown mostly for its bulbous roots. Seeds 
are started and plants set out in the same way as advised 
for Celery. Celeriac is not usually blanched, but is very fine 
when thus treated, and much hardier than the stalk Celeries. 
Large, Smooth Prague. An improved form of turnip-rooted 
Celery; round, smooth roots with very few side roots. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25e; *4 lb. 75c.
