PORTLAND, ORE. 
CARROTS 
Note our Oregon-grown Carrot Seed 
Chantenay Carrots. 
•Early Model, or Chantenay—We con¬ 
sider this the best of the table carrots. The 
roots are very smooth, stump-rooted and thick 
at the tops. The tenderest and sweetest 
carrot we ever grew. It will grow closer to¬ 
gether in the rows and still mature more good- 
sized carrots than any other. In fact it is 
such a good yielder that many plant it for 
feeding purposes. It does not crack like some 
varieties. Decidedly the best carrot for mar¬ 
ket, either for sacking or bunching. Pkt., 6c; 
oz., 15c; 3i lb., 45c; lb., $1.50, postpaid. 
far superior to cheap strains. 
Carrots may be planted from March to June 
We prefer to plant from May 10 to 26, thej 
will then miss many of the spring weeds and 
will stand through the dry season better, mak¬ 
ing a better quality of roots. Those who 
plant any quantity should use a good drill, as 
it lessens the work and gives a more even stand. 
As soon as they are up use a wheel hoe, follow¬ 
ing this with a harrow tooth cultivator. Those 
who have no wheel hoe can run a line of land 
plaster along the row as soon as the carrots 
show, then follow with a harrow tooth culti¬ 
vator. The plaster will enable you to see the 
rows clearly as well as fertilize. Plant in rows 
3 feet wide. 
•Danver’s Half Long—The standard stock 
carrot, but we do not recommend it for table 
use as compared to the Chantenay. It is a 
heavy yielder and is largely planted. Our 
strain of it is extra good. 
Pkt., 6c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
Large White Belgian—Long-rooted white 
stock carrot, very heavy yielder. Postpaid, 
pkt., 6c.; oz., 10c; 34 lb., 25c; lb., 90c. 
Long Orange—Suited for deep soils; long 
red roots for stock feeding. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
CHICKORY 
Large Rooted—Chickory does extra well 
in this climate and is considered by many as 
an excellent substitute for coffee. Plant like 
carrots. Pkt., 6c; oz., 16c. 
CAULIFLOWER 
For early Cauliflower the same culture as for early cabbage may be used. For late cauli¬ 
flower, in the description of the varieties offered, the time of planting seed and plants is given. 
Cauliflower does best in a rich, loamy soil, not a cold, wet location. Plant 234 to 3 J4 feet in rows, 
and 3 J4 feet between rows. As soon as the heads are large enough to soon be exposed to the 
light, tie or break the leaves carefully over the head to keep the light away from them. Great 
care should be used in growing plants of any of the early sorts, that they receive no severe check 
in their growth, as this will cause them to produce premature heads. Success can be had with 
the early varieties by planting the seed in the field where they are to grow, even as late as July 
10. However the soil should be thoroughly prepared and several seed put in a hill, thinning 
them down to one plant when they have reached transplanting size. 
Danish Giant Dry Weather.—One of the 
best varieties for home or garden use. The 
large, heavy, compact, pure white heads are 
shielded from the weather by tall leaves which 
twist and coil about the heads making them 
almost self-protecting. One drawback to many 
varieties for market gardeners is the fact that 
they head out all at once, but this variety heads 
through a period of two months. It will also 
stand longer without spreading than most sorts. 
On account of its resistance to dry weather it is 
one of the best sorts for early Fall growing, but 
does equally well for later Fall purposes. For 
early Fall use, plant the seed about April 15 
and transplant about June 15, and for late Fall, 
plant seed May 25, and transplant July 10 to 
20. 34 pkt., 10c; pkt., 20c; 34 oz., 65c; oz., 
$2.00; }4 lb., $6.50. 
Veitch’s Autumn Giant—A hardy, tall- 
growing cauliflower, making extra large, white 
heads. The leaves are dark green, and being 
extra long can easily be broken over the heads 
to protect them. For years we have grown 
acres of this cauliflower for the Portland 
market, and it has always given good satisfac¬ 
tion. Stands handling and shipping better 
than Early Snowball or Dry Weather. Remark¬ 
ably vigorous and thrifty. For late cauliflower, 
season of October, November and December, 
sow seed in open bed May 1st, transplant July 
1st to 15th. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; 34 lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 
Select Early Snowball.— We have an 
especially good strain of this standard early 
cauliflower and can recommend it very highly. 
Pkt., 10c; 34 oz., 60c; oz., $2.00; J4 lb., $5.60
