CHINESE OR CELERY CABBAGE 
This crisp, attractive vegetable has a flavor 
all its own. It may be included in many 
salad combinations, or is delightful when 
stuffed with cream cheese dressing. If 
properly stored will keep well into winter. 
Chinese Cabbages do best when seed is 
sown in the fall when one sows turnips, 
and succeed better when thinned rather 
than transplanted. Seed sown too early 
will cause the plants to shoot to seed. 
CHIHLI —The most desirable of the Chi¬ 
nese Cabbages as well as the earliest and 
most sure to head. Plants of upright 
growth, producing long, cylinder-shaped, 
very solid heads. 
PE TSAI —This variety makes an upright 
growth and produces an elongated head 
which blanches a creamy white; very mild 
in flavor. 
WONG BOK—The heads of this variety 
are broader than Pe Tsai and leaves fold 
lighter, making a more compact plant.

CARROT 
Culture - Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil to grow them to perfection. A good light and well- 
enriched sandy loam is the best for this crop. For field culture, sow in drills 3 to 314 feet apart, so as to culti¬ 
vate by horse. Market gardeners sow in drills, about 18 inches apart, and cultivate by hand. For early crops 
cover Vj inch deep, and thin to 6 inches apart in the rows; for late cover % inch deep, and thin to 4 inches. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds required for on acre. 
RICE'S CORELESS — We cannot too highly recommend this splendid carrot either for the home garden or 
market. The handsomest and most appetizing carrot we are acquainted with, and of the highest quality. The 
roots average 6 inches in length by 1 14 inches in diameter, nearly cylindrical in form, exceptionally smooth 
and of a deep orange color. The flesh is crisp and sweet and quite lacking in woodiness or core. 
CHANTENAY — An excellent productive, half-long, medium early va¬ 
riety. The thick roots are about 6 inches long, broad at the shoulder, 
stump rooted, very smooth, handsome, and of deep orange color; grown 
extensively by market gardeners. 
CHANTENAY, RED CORED — Fine grained flesh of a deep or reddish 
orange. The core is so small as to almost warrant the name “coreless.” 
■Shippers are finding this to be quite popular on the markets. 
DANVERS HALF LONG — A splendid orange carrot, grown for its 
productiveness and adaptability to all soils. One of the best and most 
desirable for home or market garden. Roots 6 to 8 inches long, tapering 
uniformly to a blunt point; flesh deep orange, tender and excellent 
quality. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN — One of the best for the home garden; roots 
short, blunt, and of orange-red color. 
FRENCH FORCING HORN, or GOLDEN BALL —The earliest variety, 
with nearly round, orange colored roots. 
HALF LONG STUMP-ROOTED NANTES — Nearly cylindrical, blunt- 
ended roots, smooth, almost coreless; orange color.

to 12 inches in length, nearly cylindrical in form and ending in an abrupt

der. Color deep orange.
