CAULIFLOWER. 
Culture for Cauliflower and cabbages is essentially the same, but to the former extra 
care given in applying fertilizers and moisture well repays the gardener. Sow the seeds 
for early and late crops as directed for cabbage, but do not set the early plants in the 
open field too soon, for if too much stunted by severe frosts they begin to form heads 
before they are strong enough to develop them well. Plants which have not headed be¬ 
fore winter sets in may be stored in a cool cellar or coldframe, and will form heads 
there without any further attention. 
One oz. to 1500 plants; 2 oz. to the acre.

CARROT. 
Carrots succeed best on heavy loam, which preferably should have been well fer¬ 
tilized the previous year, as fresh manure often causes the roots to grow pronged and 
misshapen. Sow the seed as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared, firming 
the soil down over them. 
One ounce of seed will sow 200 feet of drill; 2 pounds will sow an acre.

CELERY 
Celery can be grown on any garden soil, but is finest on deep, mellow bottom land. 
Seed for early crops should be sown in hotbeds about March 15. The plants may either 
be thinned to give them room to grow, or transplanted to another bed to grow until it 
is time to plant them in the open ground. For main crop, seed should be sown In the 
open air as soon as the soil and air are warm enough. They should be covered lightly, 
or merely pressed into the earth with a board if the soil is fine and mellow. The seed¬ 
bed must be kept free from weeds and well watered in dry weather. When the plants 
are large enough, transplant them to shallow trenches or furrows from 4 to 6 feet apart, 
according to the variety grown, setting the plants 6 inches apart in the rows and press¬ 
ing the soil firmly around them. One oz. to 10,000 plants. ^
