Try Some Celery Cabbage This Year—It Is Delicious fi 
CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce will produce about 3000 plants 
Cauliflower seed closely resembles cabbage or turnip 
seed. For early Cauliflower, sow in greenhouse in January 
or February and transplant to flats in the house or cold- 
frames, 2 to 3 inches apart each way. When the soil can 
be worked, set the plants 2 to 2% feet apart each way in 
rich fibrous loam. Blanch heads by drawing leaves to- am 
gether over them and tying with raffia or strips of soft @ 
cloth. For late Cauliflower, start plants in open ground, 
like late cabbage. 
EARLY SNOWBALL. A very early variety that pro- 
duces excellent white heads of medium size. The plants 
are compact growers, with short outside leaves. Fine for 
hotbed culture, as well as for growing outdoors. Cauliflower 
is one of the most delicious of our vegetables and should 
have a place in every garden. 
CARROT 
Early Snowball Cauliflower 
One ounce will sow about 
100 feet of drill 
Soil in which Carrots are to be grown should be thoroughly manured the season previous to planting, 
as forked roots will result if seed is sown in freshly manured soil. They prefer deep, loose, fertile soil, but 
will thrive m good, well-worked garden soil. Carrot seed resembles celery seed in shape but is larger and 
slightly striped. In April, as soon as ground is warm and fit to work, sow the seed for the first crop, and make 
successive sowings until August 1, the last being for fall and winter use. Plant seed 14 inch deep, In rows 
12 to 15 inches apart, and thin plants to 3 to 4 inches apart in rows. 
CHANTENAY. An excellent variety 
for winter use, as it is easily harvested 
and immensely productive. The roots 
average 5 inches in length, being 3 inches 
in diameter at the shoulders and tapering 
to the broad stump root. The flesh ts 
tender, fine grained, free from hard core, 
and deep golden orange in color. 
RED-CORED CHANTENAY. An im- 
proved type of Chantenay. Decidedly 
better in core, color, and texture. Fine 
grained, and of delicate flavor. 
DANVERS HALF-LONG. This va- 
riety, although stump-rooted, produces 
more bulk to the acre than the larger- 
rooted sorts. It is a rich orange-red in 
color, smooth and handsome, with sweet, 
tender flesh. A favorite for years with 
both home- and market-gardeners. 
EARLY FRENCH FORCING. The 
' earliest Carrot in cultivation, and fine 
for forcing. The tops are small and the 
roots reddish orange, nearly round when 
forced, but larger when grown outdoors, 
reaching a length of 24 inches when ma- 
ture. The flesh is tender and sweet. 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN. Grows 
one-third or more out of the ground. The 
roots attain a length of a foot or more 
and average about 2 inches in diameter 
throughout their entire length. They are 
easily pulled and do not have to be dug 
out as do most long-rooted sorts. The 
coarse flesh, and also the skin, is pure 
white, with an occasional tinge of green 
where growing above the soil. One of the 
best varieties for stock feeding. 
LARGE YELLOW BELGIAN. Like 
New Coreless (Amster- the preceding in every respect except 
dam Forcing) Carrot that flesh and skin are pale orange. 



LONG ORANGE IMPROVED. Suit- 
able for table use as well as stock feeding. 
A heavy yielder of Iong, rather thick roots 
which taper to a point. They measure 
12 inches in Iength and 3 inches in diam- 
eter at the crown, and are deep orange in 
color. Intermediate to late. Tender and 
of good quality when table size. 
NANTES. A coreless type, stump- 
rooted, half-long, orange-fleshed Carrot. 
Quite cylindrical in shape, with ver 
slight taper, small tap-root, and smoot 
skin. Texture, quality, and flavor are 
excellent. Edible in 65 days. 
NEW CORELESS (Amsterdam Forc- 
ing). A  stump-rooted, half-long type 
having a small tap-root and top. Prac- 
tically coreless and unexcelled for texture 
and its sweet flavor. Adapted to outside 
growth as well as forcing. 
OXHEART (Guerande). Good when 
young for table use and when mature for 
stock feeding. The roots are very thick 
and reach a length of 41% to 5 inches, end- 
ing abruptly in a tap-root. The flesh is 
bright orange, fme grained, and very 
sweet. They grow well in soil too hard 
for the longer-rooted sorts. 
One ounce will sow about 
Corn Sala 150 feet of drill 
BROAD-LEAVED LARGE-SEEDED. 
This is a hardy winter salad plant, the 
small leaves being served like lettuce. 
Seed irregular in shape, grayish yellow, 
made up of three sections. Sow in light, 
warm soil in August or September, in 
drills 4% inch deep and 6 inches apart. 
Just before winter, cover thickly with 
straw or leaves. Pick the leaves when 
half as large as lettuce.
