CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce produces 3000 plants, 6 to 8 ounces per acre. The cultivation is similar 
to that of cabbage. Leaves must be gathered and tied about the head to protect 
from the sun and facilitate bleaching. 
Early Danish Snowball (30 to 35 days from seed to plant) (55 days from plant to 
maturity )—One of the best for this locality. 
CARROTS 
Chantenay (72 days)—A standard in the Pecos Valley. Good for all uses, especially 
winter storage. A very heavy yielder with average shape and size. 
Imperator (77 days)—Long cylindrical and well stump rooted. Due to its shape it is 
one of the most popular bunching varieties. 
Chantenay Red Cored (72 days)—Improved over the Chantenay in color, texture and 
flesh. Desirable for canning and shipping. Core is not distinct. 
Nantes Half Long (70 days)—Flesh red, sweet and almost coreless. Roots 6 to 8 
inches long. Cylindrical with blunt end. Packs well due to short top. 
Danver’s Half Long (75 days)—-A good all purpose carrot. Roots are tender, 6 to 
8 inches long and tapered to a blunt point. Bright orange in color. 
Oxheart or Guerande (72 days)—Roots are heart shaped and scarlet-orange. Desir- 
able for field culture on heavy soil. Good keeper and often used for stock feed. 
Yellow Belgian, Stock (96-100 days)—Exclusively used for live stock feed. Will 
grow 12 inches long from crown to tip and 2 inches thick at shoulder. Skin pale 
yellow. Extremely large and productive. 
White Belgian (95 days)—Very similar to Yellow Belgian except in color. Flesh white 
with tinge of cream color. 
CELERY 
The Roswell District is noted for a superior quality celery. The production should not 
be undertaken on a large scale by someone who is not experienced. Seed should be 
sown in April and plants reset in July. Must be bleached with boards, paper or 
earth. One ounce of seed will produce 10,000 plants. 
White Plume (120 days)—A first early. Solid and crisp. Foliage green tinted white 
but both foliage and stalks will blanch readily to snowy white. Plants medium in size. 
Utah or Golden Crisp (1380 days)—One of our best for main crop. A green variety 
for fall use. Fine quality and flavor. Stems broad but thick and well rounded. 
Golden Phenomenal (83 days)—A tall, early self blanching variety. Has been de- 
pendable in the Pecos Valley for a number of years. Full hearted and compact with 
long edible stalks. 
Golden Plume or Wonderful (115-120 days)—Crisp with fine nutty flavor. Blanches 
readily. Apparently more disease resistant than other yellow celeries. 
Easy Blanching (125 days)—-A good keeper of the second early green variety. Erect, 
vigorous grower. Thick solid stalks of a rich nutty flavor.
