CARROTS 
Italian^Carota 
The ideal soil for the production of clean smooth carrots is'a^light'sandy loam which has 
been well ferilized. Fresh manure should never be used. The first sowing may be made in early 
April and later plantings may be continued until late in July. Sow the seeds thinly in drills 
and cover very lightly. Allow about 18 inches between rows. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet 
of drill; 4 pounds to the acre.

Use Non-Poisonous Insecticides 
on Cabbage and Cauliflower. We 
recommend “Bonide” % of 1 per 
cent Rotenone Dust, or if you 
prefer liquid, use “Greentox.” 
Both can safely be used at any time 
throughout the season. For prices 
and further details, see page 104 
CAULIFLOWER 
1 talian—Cavoloflore 
The same general cultural directions given for cabbage apply also to cauliflower 
except that very early planting out of doors is not advisable. Planting out from 
May 20 to June 1 gives the best results. When the heads begin to form, go over the 
planting at frequent intervals and gather and tie the tops of the leaves together. 
This will prevent sunburning. The result will be snow white heads. One ounce of 
seed should produce about 2500 plants; 5 ounces to the acre. 
BRECK’S WHITE BOUQUET. Those who have grown it for 
early or for main crop, private and market gardeners alike, 
agree that Breck’s White Bouquet Cauliflower has no peer. It 
will head when other varieties fail; moreover, it is a strain well 
adapted to forcing under glass during Winter and Spring. The 
plants are comparatively short-stemmed, have small leaves, and 
produce medium to large, close-grained, snowy white heads of 
the finest quality We feel confident that no better strain has ever 
been developed, and that it is the earliest and most reliable 
variety for New England. Pkt. 25c; 34 oz. $3.00; oz. $5.00: 
34 lb. $12.00. 
Super Snowball. The most superior strain and earliest selection
