Grow More Carrots—They Are Rich in "Carotene” 
Carrots 
Carrot seed should be sown in April for early and until the first of June for later crops. Make the surface smooth, 
and plant in drills, 14 inches apart; cover not more than 3^ inch, and thin to 4 inches apart in the rows. Like all root 
crops, a rich, sandy loam, deeply cultivated, which has been well manured for a previous crop, is most suitable for Car¬ 
rots. Strong fresh manure should never be used.

Early Chantenay 
Cauliflower 
There is no vegetable grown more delicious than the Cauliflower. With a deep, rich soil, plenty of moisture and 
thorough cultivation, it is as easily grown as Cabbage. For early, the seed may be sown in September and the plants 
wintered in well-protected coldframes, or sown in hotbeds early in March, and when sufficiently large transplanted in 
coldframes and gradually hardened by exposure. When the weather will permit, set in the open ground in rows 3 feet 
apart and 2 feet between the plants in the row. For Fall crops sow at the same time, and treat in the same manner as 
late Cabbage. Cauliflower will not head in hot, dry weather, therefore the time of planting should be regulated so they 
will head either in early Summer or Autumn. Keep well watered when they begin to head. If the leaves are drawn up 
and tied loosely over the head it will hasten blanching. Cut before the flower begins to open. 
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
