Nitrate of Soda application is necessary only for the 
early varieties. 
Sow the seed in fine soil in flats during February 
or March. Do not make the soil too rich as it is likely 
to make the seedlings grow too fast and become 
lanky. Make small drills about ^ inch deep and 2 to 
3 inches apart and put 6 to 8 seeds in each drill. 
Water often and keep an even temperature of 50 to 
60 degrees. 
When seedlings are 3 to 4 inches high replant 
further apart in flats or boxes. This insures stocky 
instead of spindling plants, and makes them a month 
or six weeks earlier than if the plants were set out. 
Cabbage is set at different intervals, depending upon 
variety—early varieties should be set about 14 inches 
apart in rows 28 inches apart. Late season varieties 
should be set 24 inches apart in rows 36 inches apart. 
If planted much closer they would be crowding and 
result in small heads. 
Early types can be set out as soon as there is no 
danger of hard frosts. Late types, should, over most 
of the northern states, be placed by August 1st. It 
takes from 40 to 50 plants for a row 100 feet long. 
Cabbages are divided into three groups—Early, 
Midseason and Late or Winter varieties.

Carrot culture is very simple, the ordinary procedure is to sow the seed 
rather thickly in drills about % to % of an inch deep the rows being 12 to 
24 inches apart, depending on hand or machine cultivation. After the plants 
are up about 5 inches they should be thinned from 
three to four inches apart in the row. If the soil is 
rich there will be no trouble about root develop¬ 
ment. Young, tender, quick growing carrots are bet¬ 
ter flavored than old or slow growing ones which are 
fit only for stock feed. If the soil is not rich apply a 
good complete commercial fertilizer at the rate of 6 
pounds per one hundred feet of row. It takes about 1 
ounce of seed for a row of this length. 
In order to have tender juicy carrots all season 
long it is advisable to make small sowings at regular 
two-week intervals up to the middle of July. Later 
sowings may not mature before the early frosts. 
Carrots, like all root crops should be protected 
against soil insects such as maggots, worms and wire 
worms. This is best controlled by the use of Crude 
Naphthalene flakes. Sprinkle these flakes in the rows 
at the time of planting seed.
