CAN NELL S’ SEED GUIDE, 1914

CANNELLS* PERFECTION INTERMEDIATE CARROT. 
CARROT. 
Seed saved from Selected Roots only. 
CULTURE. —The French Scarlet may be sown in frames in December and January ; in 
February succession sowings may be made on warm borders ; in March, a large sowing may be 
made ; and for general crop sow about the middle of April, either broadcast on beds or in 
drills. Preference should be given to the drills, as the crop can then more easily be kept clean. 
As soon as the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to 2 or 3 inches apart at the first thinning ; 
after a few weeks give a final thinning to 6 or S inches distance, and tne crop allowed to remain 
till it has perfected its growth in autumn. It will be found an advantage to mix the seed with 
a certain amount of soil so that it can be more evenly distributed.

CAULIFLOWER. 
CULTURE. Sow end of January or early in February in a frame on a slight heat, or in a house, so that the plauts may be forward and hardened ofl 
by April, when a sowing may be made outdoors., I rorn this sowing heads will be produced in July and August. To stand the Winter, seeds should be 
sown about the third week m August. Jannrli* First-to- Cut, Early Lm lon, and Early Dwarf Erfurt are reliable sorts. Select a sunny, well.drained 
spot for the seed bed, well work and if at all heavy a Id a go id dressing of fine sandy soil or old potting compost, after which the seed maybe sown thinly 
and broadcast, and covered with fine soil. When the s3d llings appear, apply an occasional dusting of soot and lime as a preventive against slugs. The 
strongest plants, when ready, should be dibbled out rather thickly in hand lights and cold frames, andlthe remainder left in the seed bed where the will 
frequently survive an ordinary wiuter. finally, plant out in spring.
