18 inches apart and thin to 3 or 4 inches, according to size of variety.

SEEDOLOGY

KNOX’S FAMOUS CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is grown the same as cabbage, but requires more 
fertile soil, and like cabbage and lettuce, is not a good summer 
crop. There are two good seasons for sowing cauliflower seed; 
for fall and winter sow the seed in June and July, for spring sow in 
September and October. Transplant the plants when they are about 
six weeks old, and always keep them in a thriving condition. If 
large or old plants are used and if they are not kept growing con- 
stantly, some will head prematurely and others will go to seed. 
Early Snowball. 52 days. The best for greenhouse forcing, early 
market and shipping. Plants very dwarf. Heads snow white; deep, 
smooth, compact; about 6 in. across and weigh 1% to 2 lbs.; the 
standard of excellence in cauliflower. Pkt. 25c. 








CELERY 
Celery seed should be sown indoors from February 20 to April 
20th, or outdoors in April. Cover lightly, keep the beds moist, 
almost to wetness, and the temperature should not exceed 60 de- 
grees. Outdoors it is sometimes necessary to furnish partial shade 
with lattice work that admits about half the sunlight. Keep the 
small plants well watered and free from weeds. Transplant when 
4 inches high, cutting off the tops as well as part of the roots. The 
soil must be rich and moist or else water should be available for irri- 
gation. Transplant the last of June or first of July, although it is 
sometimes possible to mature a crop set out as late as the middle of 
August. In setting, dig trenches 5 inches deep, 2 feet apart. Plant 
1 foot apart along both sides of trench. Water often and keep the 
weeds down by cultivation and hoeing. Blanching is done by heap- 
ing up with soil or with two wide boards placed on each side of the 
rows and held in place by stakes or wire hoops at the top. The latter 
method is necessary when blanching in hot weather for the early 
market. Be careful not to disturb the plant while wet, as this 
increases the tendency to rust.
