CHINESE or CELERY CABBAGE 
This vegetable originated in 
China, belongs to the cabbage 
family although the heads re- 
semble celery in shape. In the 
raw state the flavor is superior to 
cabbage and is becoming in- 
creasingly popular as a salad 
vegetable. Plant the seed out- 
doors not earlier than July 1st in 
rows 2% feet apart and thin to 16 
to 18 inches apart. If sown too 
early it runs to seed and is useless. 
Matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 1 oz. 
will sow 200 feet of row. 

CHIHILI 
Earliest and surest heading of the Chinese varieties. Plant of upright growth 
procueing long, solid, white heads nearly two feet in length, crisp, sweet and 
tender. 
N.B. As a rule Chinese Cabbage is not a success if transplanted. To get a thin stand mix the 
Chinese Cabbage with equal parts of rape or any seed of similar size that has first been thoroughly 
CARDOON 
LARGE SMOOTH

use in late fall and winter. 
Tender and richly flavored, blanches easily and makes an attractive appearance. 
CARROTS 
One packet will sow 25 feet of row; one 
xX 
ounce 200 feet; 2 to 3 lbs. will sow an 
acre. 
The carrot is one of the most wholesome and 
nutritious of our garden roots and deserves to 
be more extensively used both for culinary and 
stock feeding purposes. They require about the 
same simple care as beets. Freshly manured soil 
often causes divided roots and it is therefore 
best to plant in soil that has been richly fer- 
tilized the previous season. Plant the seed 14 
inch deep in loose well prepared soil in rows 
16 to 24 inches apart. Cultivate’as soon as the 
plants are well established and thin to 2 or 4 
inches in the row according to the size of the 
variety. Plantings may be made from early 
spring to June 15th. For winter storage the 
later date is advisable. 
DANVERS HALF LONG 
Very productive and popular for 
home and market garden. Also 
valuable for stock feeding and asa 
shipping carrot. Roots are longer 
and more tapering than the Chan- 
tenay and about 5 days later in 
LONG CHANTENAY CARROT maturity.
