COOK S “AULSEED” QUALITY 
CARROTS 
CULTURE—Sow in light, loamy soil late in April, barely covering the seed over V 2 inch in rows 18 inches 
apart; thin out to 2 inches in row. Keep the soil loose around the plants by cultivation. One ounce will sow 
about 150 feet of drill, 3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
Danvers Carrot 
CHANTENAY HALF-LONG. A medium-early, half- 
long, smooth, blunt-rooted sort of deep orange-red 
color and delicate flavor. As it has a nice top, it is 
very popular for bunching and for frame use, al¬ 
lowing close planting. Shaped broadest at shoulder, 
tapering toward base and running suddenly to a 
point; the root averages 6 inches in length. 
DANVERS HALF-LONG. This sort is slightly long¬ 
er than Chantenay, growing 7 to 8 inches long, is 
square-shouldered, tapering gradually to a blunt 
point. The root is smooth and handsome, of an or¬ 
ange-red color, with sweet, crisp flesh. For main 
planting it has no superior, and when sown during 
June it produces the best roots to store away for 
later use in winter. 
EARLY FRENCH FORCING. Short, fine for early 
use; the added rich, red color makes it an ideal va¬ 
riety; very tender. 
OXHEART. A stump-rooted sort with light, scant 
foliage. Root is 5 inches long and 3 to 4 inches in 
diameter, bright orange-red, tender, and sweet. 
SELECTED LONG ORANGE, IMPROVED. The best 
for stock feeding; being of pleasing flavor; pulled 
small makes a fine table dish.

CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—Sow seed early in February and prick out in flats or pots; transplant in open late in May in 
rich soil well cultivated,2 feet apart in rows and 2% feet between rows. Work in a little fertilizer now and 
then to stimulate the plants. One ounce will produce about 3,500 plants. 
EARLY SNOWBALL. An extra-early variety, but 
has displaced many of the large late sorts for fall 
use. It is of fine quality and produces snow-white 
heads, averaging 8 to 10 inches in diameter. It is 
small-leaved and is grown extensively under glass 
during winter and spring. Its close-growing, com¬ 
pact habit permits planting one-third more the 
number of plants on the same space of ground 
than is possible with other standard varieties. 
EARLY DWARF ERFURT. For very early outdoor 
crop in spring, or for sowing in May for fall crop. 
The plant is vigorous and makes a strong, sturdy, 
dwarf, compact frame. The flowers are large, even 
in surface, with a very fine “curd.” Early Dwarf 
Erfurt is commonly used for forcing.
