CAULIFLOWER— (Blumenkohl) 
The weather has more to do with success in raising Cauliflower than almost any other vegetable. 
If it is cool, good heads may be expected, if not, the crop will be more or less of a failure, anything 
tout the very best seed however, invites failure from the very outset. Because the price of seed runs 
into large figures is a very poor reason for trying to save a dollar on the seed. The crop is what you 
want and no poor seed will ever produce a good crop of anything except trouble and disappointment. 
One onnce will produce 3000 plants.

CELERY— (Sellerie) 
One important factor in raising celery from seed is to have the seed bed line and the seed firmly 
packed down when it is sown, a half inch deep. Next it is necessary to keep It growing—a check in 
growth is sure to be followed by hollow celery. In the garden, plants which are ready In June, may be 
set out four inches apart between alternate rows of early corn, affording necessary shade at the start. 
After the corn is pulled the stalks should be removed to let the celery grow. Plant only the best plants.

CORN— ( Zucker Mais ) 
Plant in rows and thin out inferior stalks, leaving a strong stalk each foot or fifteen Inches. Rows 
may be thirty inches apart for early dwarf and forty-eight inches for late tall sorts. Plant a half inch 
deep at first and deeper as the ground warms up, but three inches is the limit. The suckers should be 
twisted off when they get six or eight inches high and the stalks hilled up when a foot high. Shallow 
cultivating is important because the corn roots are near the surface. Two plantings may be made but 
if more are wanted, it is safer to plant later sorts early. May 10th is, on an average, the earliest safe 
date to plant corn, but a few plants can be started in small pots earlier and planted out after danger 
from frost has passed. 
On© ponnd will plant 100 feet ©f row or 100 hills.
