Carrots 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row 
Carrots give satisfactory results when sown in any good 
garden soil, if thoroughly and deeply worked; a sandy 
loam, well manured, is the most desirable. For early crop, 
sow as early as the ground can be worked and for later crops, 
sow up to about June 15. Sow in rows 12 to 14 inches apart 
and cover with about 3^inch of soil. As soon as plants appear, 
use cultivator. Later thin out to stand 2 inches apart. 
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 frame use, allowing 
close planting. The root, broadest at shoulder, tapering 
toward base, and running suddenly to a point, is 6 inches 
long. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20cts.; 341t>. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50. 
Coreless. A half-long, cylindrical blunt-pointed variety with 
a very small taproot and small, fine top. The shape and 
size are uniform, averaging 6 to 7 inches in length and 1*4 
inches in diameter, clean-skinned, and smooth. The red- 
orange flesh is very fine-grained, and absolutely without 
core. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; J^Ib. 80 cts.; Ib. $2.50. 
Danvers Half-Long. This sort is slightly longer than Chan¬ 
tenay, growing 7 inches long, is square-shouldered, tapering 
to a blunt point. The orange-red root is smooth, with sweet, 
crisp flesh. For main planting it has no superior. Sown 
during June, it produces the best roots to store for winter. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; %Ib. 45 cts.; Ib. $1.50. 
Imperator. A new strain with tapering, pointed 8-inch roots 
of deep orange, both exterior and interior. This variety is 
ideal for the home-garden. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; filb. $1; 
Ib. $3. 
Rubicon Half-Long. Excellent for growing outside at any 
season, and an excellent summer basket sort. The smooth, 
orange-red stump roots average 5 inches. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 
15 cts.; \i\b. 40 cts.; Ib. $1.25. 
Cauliflower 
One ounce will produce 1,000 plants 
Cauliflower will not grow well during hot weather. For 
early spring crop, seed should be sown in a hotbed, or cold- 
frame, during February, never later than March 10. The 
plants may be set out like cabbage, right after frost has gone; 
these will head during June. For a fall crop the seed is sown 
about May 20. Plants may be set out July 15. With good 
care, they will grow slowly until the cool nights of September, 
when they develop rapidly into strong, leafy plants, and a 
strong plant nearly always produces a good flower. As the 
flowers form, gather the leaves together and tie them 
at the top, to blanch heads. Cauliflower requires rich, 
well-drained soil, plenty of moisture, and only a mod¬ 
erate temperature. 
“The Forbes.” Best for early and late crops. Of the 
Snowball type, but as the crop heads up practically 
all at one time, make plantings in succession. It 
excels for vigor and freedom from disease, and pro¬ 
duces first-grade heads, even under adverse condi¬ 
tions. The inner leaves wrap tightly over the head 
from its beginning up to 4 inches diameter, when the 
heads should be tied up. A few days of favorable 
growing weather quickly increase the size to 10 to 
11 inches diameter. The heads are very deep, with 
pure white, solid, rounded curds and mature very 
early. Pkt. 25 cts.; Fs oz - 90 cts.; *4oz. $1.50; oz. $5. 
Forbes Catskill-Snowball. We recommend this as the 
premier variety for outdoor culture on account of its 
earliness, vigorous growth, handsome appearance and 
high quality. Its strong, vigorous constitution enables it to 
withstand weather conditions that make Cauliflower culture 
somewhat of a gamble. Pkt. 20 cts.; Fsoz. 75 cts.; 34oz. 
$1.25; oz. $4. 
Carrots are colorful and 
delicious vegetables, full of 
health-giving elements. They 
figure largely in special diets. 
Excellent when cooked with 
peas.
