CARROTS. Sow seed rather thickly in drills 
about 1% to % of an inch deep, the rows being 
12 to 24 inches apart depending on hand or 
machine cultivation. After the plants are up 
about 5 inches they should be thinned out from 
3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. If the soil is 
rich there will be no trouble about root devel- 
opment. Young, tender, quick growing carrots 
are better flavored than the old or slow growing 
type. If the soil is not rich apply a complete 
commercial fertilizer at the rate of 6 pounds per 
100 foot row. It takes about 1 ounce for a row 
of this length. 
In order to have tender, juicy carrots all sea- 
son long it is advisable to make small sowings 
at regular two-week intervals up to the middle 
of July. Later sowings may not mature before 
early frost. 
Carrots like all root crops should be protect- 
ed against soil insects such as maggots, worms 
and wire worms. The best control is crude 
Naphthalene Flakes worked in the soil a few 
days before planting the seed.

ITALIAN BROCCOLI. A branching herb 
about 2 feet high. In summer all of the lateral 
branches and the circle ones end in a small 
green open head. This, which should be cut 
before it actually flowers, is cooked like cauli- 
flower or spinach and is very delicious and rich 
in vitamins. 
The plant prefers coolness and moisture. 
Unless you are in a particularly favorable place, 
such as the sea coast, Italian Broccoli is best 
treated as a two-season crop. First it is started 
in a hotbed or greenhouse in February or 
March and transplanted to the open after frost. 
The second crop is sown in the seed bed in 
June or July and transplanted to the garden 
a month or six weeks later. The later crop can 
be harvested throughout the Autumn months. 
Plants should be set two feet apart in rows 
which are themselves two feet apart. A single 
row of 50 plants is ample for a family of five. 
The soil should be well cultivated. 
Packet, 10c; % ounce, 45c. 
St. Valentine Broccoli. This variety is very 
similar to cauliflower, it must be planted with 
the same cultural directions. 
Packet, 10c; 4% ounce, 65c.

CARROT 
CAULIFLOWER. Cauliflower is more difficult 
to grow than any other plant of the cabbage 
tribe, like most of them it will not stand heat 
and drought which limits its culture to areas 
free of these conditions. It is best grown in 
fairly cool climates where there is plenty of 
moisture. It will not, however, stand as much 
frost as cabbage or Brussels Sprouts and in 
very protracted warm weather it will not head. 
Like other members of the cabbage family 
cauliflower is divided into two groups, early 
varieties and the late varieties. 
Soil and fertilizer conditions are the same as 
cabbage. It is advisable to use a good commer- 
cial fertilizer and to cultivate at regular inter- 
vals. 
For quicker and better results it is advisable 
to start cauliflower in flats and later transplant 
when the young plants are about 4 or 5 inches 
tall. The plants should be set about 2 feet apart 
in rows 3 feet apart. This will allow approxi- 
mately 50 head of cauliflower to a 100-foot row. 
This should be more than ample for a family 
of five. 
Packet, 10c; 14 ounce, 65c. 
Portland Seed Co.’s Mt. Hood Snowball. 
One of the best early varieties that we highly 
recommend for early and late planting. Its pure 
white, fine quality heads of medium uniform 
size are exceedingly tasty. Popular with home 
gardeners as well as market gardeners. 
Danish Giant. Outstanding because of its abil- 
ity to yield heavily in dry weather. Its large, 
solid white heads mature very early if forced 
indoors during early growth. 
Early Snowball. Adapted very well to fore- 
ing as well as outdoor planting. Plants are com- 
pact, producing medium to large, round heads 
that are pure white when blanched. 
Packet, ounce, %4-lb. are all postpaid. Otherwise add postage.
