CELERY 
For both market and home use there is no more 
highly esteemed vegetable than Celery. As the 
seed is small it requires careful planting. Sow in 
drills 10 to 12 inches apart early in spring. The 
soil should be well pulverized and the seed lightly 
covered with soil pressed firmly over it. Additional 
sowings may be made up to June 15th. Transplant 
when ready in rows 3 feet apart, leaving 3 to 4 
inches between plants, or for extra large stalks 
6 to 8 inches. Press the soil firmly around the roots 
and keep well cultivated. As cool weather ap¬ 
proaches blanching is started by drawing the soil 
around the plants. This is continued until only 
the tops of the leaves remain uncovered. Blanching 
is often accomplished by means of boards or build¬ 
ing paper set against the rows in place of soil. Late 
Celery should be pitted or placed in the cellar 
before freezing weather.

CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is easily grown if properly 
cared for, although to be a profitable market 
crop it is somewhat particular as to soil and 
location. Many make the mistake of ex¬ 
pecting Cauliflower to head in hot weather. 
To avoid this it should be started in March 
or early April in a greenhouse or hot bed and 
transplanted to good fertile soil as soon as 
conditions will permit. Sow in June and 
transplant 18 inches apart in rows 3 feet 
apart for the late crop. Cultivate thoroughly 
and frequently to keep plants in good grow¬ 
ing condition. When heads begin to 
form, bunch the leaves together and tie 
loosely to protect them from the sun.
