Coreless Chantenay Carrots 

Snowdrift Cauliflower 
Carrots 
A packet will sow 40 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet; 3 pounds per acre. 
Golden carrots, served cooked or raw, are a welcome delicacy on a 
menu the year around. If you have a sandy corner in your garden, sow 
your carrots there for the smoothest roots. Several rows reseeded at 
regular intervals from early spring through July, will provide you with 
a good supply of this garden favorite. Don’t neglect to thin the plants 
to a distance of several inches apart. Gardeners classify carrot seed 
as a slow germinator.

Cauliflower 
One ounce will produce 1500 to 2000 plants in open ground, or about 3000 plants 
in frames; a packet about 150 plants. 
Early and late cauliflower plants are grown the same as cabbage. 
Richness of soil and evenness of moisture are essential to the best cul- 
ture. When the heads have developed to several inches in diameter, 
draw the leaves together at the top and tie with a soft string. Mix Peat 
Moss with the soil in your plant bed for better roots and sturdier plants. 
Snowdrift. (Also called Improved Holland, Erfurt and White Moun- 
tain.) This grand variety is noted for its extremely white heads. The 
heads are outstanding, due to being large and deep, and with a fine 
tight curd. The piants have large leaves and cover the heads extremely 
well. This improved strain has conquered the market by leaps and 
bounds. During the past year our strain has shown to be among the 
leaders for true stock. You will not regret planting Snowdrift.
