CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower succeeds best on new soil. For early summer use, sow seed in hotbed in February and March, 
and transplant outdoors about April 15. For late fall crop, sow outdoors the latter part of May, and trans¬ 
plant when plants are large enough to handle. Plants should be set at least 2 feet apart in the row, with the 
rows from 2 to 3 feet apart. Cultivate frequently, and stimulate occasionally with fertilizer or nitrate of 
soda. Look out for the green worms that attack the leaves of Cauliflower. Dust plants frequently with 
Slug-Shot to kill the worms. As soon as the “flower” has attained a diameter of 3 to 4 inches, tie the outer 
leaves together over the head in order to protect it from 
the sun, wind and rain; this will keep it snowy white, firm, 
and tender. It is not advisable to attempt to grow Cauli¬ 
flower during midsummer, as heads will not develop well 
in hot weather. 
One package of seed will produce about 200 plants; 
one ounce, 3,000

Witloof OI“ French Endive. This is the delicious salad served in first-class restaurants under 
-- the name of “French Endive.” In late autumn, lift the roots care¬ 
fully, cut off the leaves about I^inch from the crown, and store in the cellar in sand or dry soil. After one month’s 
rest, they are ready for forcing. Plant thickly in a deep box in the cellar or in a dark place where it is warm. They 
will soon begin to send forth new leaves which, grown in the dark, are snowy white, crisp, and of finest flavor— 
a great treat for the winter months. A continuous supply can be had by planting a dozen or more roots at a time.

CELERY 
Seeds may be sown in the greenhouse, hotbed, or coldframe in February or March, and the seedlings trans¬ 
planted as soon as large enough to handle. Outdoors, the seed should be sown in well-prepared soil as soon 
as the ground can be worked, later transplanting to a prepared bed, setting the plants 3 to 4 inches apart 
so as to make them stocky. When about 6 inches high, transfer to richly manured trenches 3 to 4 feet 
apart, setting the plants in double rows, 6 inches apart each way. When fully grown, bank up with soil or 
paper collars in order to blanch the stalks.
