Surprise the Family with Unfamiliar Vegetables a 



CARROT 
Sow I ounce of seed to 100 feet of row; 
2 or 3 pounds to an acre 
Cutture. Good crops may be obtained 
from ordinary garden soil. For early use, 
seed may be sown in hotbeds from January 
until March, and in the open ground as soon 
as the weather becomes warm and settled, 
usually in April. Sow seed 44 inch deep, in 
rows 15 inches apart, and later thin to 5 inches 
apart in the rows. Sow from July 1 to 15 for 
winter crops. 65 days. Soil A. 
California Bunching. Tops small; roots 
bright orange, 8 inches long, and almost 
cylindrical. 
Chantenay. Regular stock. 
Danvers or Half-Long Orange. Owing to 
its enormous yield, this is one of the most 
profitable for main crop. It is somewhat 
longer than Chantenay. 
Improved Long Orange. Eleven to 12 
inches long, 234 inches in diameter, tapered 
to a point; deep orange. Heavy yielder. 
M.-S. PERFECTION CHANTENAY. An 
exceptionally valuable variety for market 
gardeners. The color is appealing, rich 
deep solid orange throughout. Roots are 
7 to 8 inches long, tapering slightly. Tops 
just long enough to bunch well. Very pro- 
lific, brittle, tender; sweet delicate flavor. 
M.-S. SOUTHERN PRIDE. An ideal me- 
dium-early stump-rooted Carrot, smooth 
and uniform m shape, averaging 5 inches 
in length, with thick, heavy shoulders, 
rather large tops and "deep orange color, 
almost coreless and of fine flavor. Posi- 
tively the best Carrot for home-garden or 
market. Advisable for truckers. 
M.-S. Streamlined. Roots long, slender; 
cylindrical. Flesh rich orange, indistinct 
core, fine-grained, tender, and of excellent 
quality. 
Nantes. Six to 7 inches long and 114 inches 
in diameter; stump rooted, orange through- 
out. Fine quality. 
Oxheart or Guerande. A short, thick Car- 
rot not exceeding 4 inches in length, and 
about the same in width which does quite 
well on hard, heavy soils where the longer 
varieties are useless. 
Red-cored Chantenay. A little more 
stump-rooted than its famous parent, 
Chantenay. Deep orange-red core. 




California Bunching Carrots 
10 Vegetable Seeds 

CELERY 
One ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants 
CuturE. Sow the last of March or early 
in April, in an open border, in rich, mellow 
ground, in shallow drills, watering freely in 
dry weather. By rolling or pressing in the 
seed the result will be more satisfactory than 
when covered. Cut the tops off once or twice 
before planting out, to make them stocky. 
When the plants are 5 to 6 inches high, trans- 
plant 6 inches apart in the rows. Blanch by 
earthing up. 125 days. Soil A. 
Easy Blanching. For early use. As self- 
blanching as White Plume, and simply 
needs a slight earthing up. 
Giant Pascal. Regular stock. 
Golden Heart. A showy sort. Solid, of fine 
flavor, and a good keeper. 
Golden Self-blanching. American strain. 
Crisp, delicious, nutty flavor, and absence 
of strings make our Golden Self-blanching 
a real delicacy. The stalks are broad, 
thick and heavy, and easily blanch to a 
rich, appetizing golden yellow. One of the 
easiest Celeries to grow, for it blanches 
with much less earthing up than most sorts. 
White Plume. Unsurpassed for fall and 
early winter use, requiring very little earth- 
ing up to blanch it. 
Winter Queen. Thick, solid, heavy stalk 
and a large heart. It is a close, compact 
grower, and when blanched is a creamy 
white color. 
Flavoring Celery. For culinary purposes. 

Celeriac 
M.-S. EUREKA. This is unquestionably 
the largest and best Celeriac ever intro- 
duced. Very large, almost globe shaped, 
smooth, with only a few roots at the bot- 
tom. Flavor is excellent. 
Giant Prague. 
Golden Self-blanching Celery 
CELERY PLANTS. See page 23. 
Dandelion 
Improved Thick-leaved. The large, broad, 
thick, dark green leaves are used as 
“greens” for boiling. The flavor may be 
improved if the leaves are tied together 
and the hearts bleached and eaten like 
endive. In good soil, plants attain a spread 
of about 1% feet. Quick growing. Being 
hardy, plants will live over the winter. 
60 days. 
CRESS 
Curled Cress or Pepper Grass. Sow in 
early spring in rows 2 feet apart and re- 
peat often as it runs to seed very quickly. 
40 days. Broad or narrow leaf. 
Upland Cress. The perennial variety. Stays 
green all year. 60 days. Supply doubtful. 
Water-Cress. Sow early in spring near pond 
or running water; when established will 
last for years. 50 days. Supply doubtful.
