CELERY 
For both market and home use there is no more highly 
esteemed vegetable than Celery. As the seed is small 
it requires careful planting. Sow in drills one-fourth inch 
deep early in spring. The soil should be well pulverized 
and the seed lightly covered with soil pressed firmly over 
it. Additional sowings may be made but usually the 
early plantings germinate best. Transplant in rows 3 
feet apart, leaving 3 to 4 inches between plants, or for 
extra large stalks 6 to 8 inches. Keep well cultivated 
and as cool weather approaches draw the soil up around 
the plants. Continue until only the tops of the plants 
remain uncovered. Blanching of early Celery is often 
accomplished with boards or building paper set against 
the rows instead of soil. Late Celery should be pitted or 
placed in cellars before freezing weather

CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is easily grown if properly cared for, although 
to be a profitable market crop it is somewhat particular 
as to soil and location. For the early crop it should be 
planted in a greenhouse or hot bed in March and trans¬ 
planted as soon as weather will permit. Sow in May and 
transplant 18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart for the 
late crop. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently to keep 
plants in good growing condition. When heads begin 
to form it may be necessary to bunch the leaves together 
and tie loosely to protect them from the sun.
