Carrots 
Carrot seed should be sown in April for early and until the first of June for later crops. Make the surface 
smooth, and plant in drills, 14 inches apart; cover not more than 34 inch, and thin to 4 inches apart in the rows. 
Like all root crops, a rich, sandy loam, deeply cultivated, which has been well manured for a previous crop, is most 
suitable for Carrots. Strong fresh manure should never be used. 
An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill, 3 or 4 pounds for 1 acre.

Cauliflower 
There is no vegetable grown more delicious than the Cauliflower. With a deep, rich soil, plenty of moisture 
and thorough cultivation, it is as easily grown as Cabbage. For early, the seed may be sown in September and 
the plants wintered in well-protected coldframes, or sown in hotbeds early in March, and when sufficiently large 
transplanted in coldframes and gradually hardened by exposure. When the weather will permit, set in the open 
ground in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet between the plants in the row. For Fall crops sow at the same time, and 
treat in the same manner as late Cabbage. Cauliflower will not head in hot, dry weather, therefore the time of 
planting should be regulated so they will head either in early Summer or Autumn. Keep well watered when they 
begin to head. If the leaves are drawn up and tied loosely over the head it will hasten blanching. Cut before 
the flower begins to open. 
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
