Finest Danish Grown Cauliflower 
One ounce of seed will furnish 2,500 to 3,000 plants. 
CULTURE: Sow the seed in flats or hotbeds, 
in a rich soil composed of equal parts of garden 
soil, leaf mould, and sand. Seed may be started 
in February or March. Transplant to other flats, 
or to paper pots, when the plants are 2 or 3 
inches high. Set outdoors as soon as weather 
permits, 2 to 3 feet apart each way. The soil 
should be rich, containing plenty of humus mat¬ 
ter and moisture. While the heads are form¬ 
ing, water freely, and apply liquid manure 
or light dressing of nitrate of soda and 
potash. When the heads have formed and 
are hard, tie up the outer leaves to blanch 
the heads. Cauliflower needs cool, rather 
damp weather and will not form good 
heads in a dry, hot season 
or in dry sections.

from 1 oz, of seed. 
6 to 7 ounces plant 
an acre. Number of

Golden Self Blanching Celery, 
Wholesome and delicious. 
pound of seed will produce enough plants 
for one acre. 
Note: Number of days from planting seed to 
edible stage are listed here. 
CULTURE—Sow the seed in flats, during 
February or March. Celery seed germinates 
slowly and the surface of the soil must be kept 
constantly moist. Cover the seed very lightly, 
with fine sand rather than with soil, to prevent 
a hard surface. When plants are 2 or 3 inches 
high, transplant them to other flats. In May, 
set them out in rows 3 feet apart, 6 inches 
apart in the rows. 
To blanch celery, hill up the stalks with 
earth, but do not let any dirt fall into the 
hearts of the plants, and do not work at it 
while wet. Celery may also be banked with 
boards pushed close to both sides of the rows. 
For winter store in cellar.
