Surprise the Family with Unfamiliar Vegetables 


CARROT 
Sow 1 ounce Ho 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 ¥% inch deep, in 
rows 15 inches apart, and later thin to 5 mches 
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 Jong, and ‘almost 
cylindrical. 
Chantenay. Regular stock. 
Danvers or Half-Long Orange. Owing to 
its enormous yield, this is one of the most 
prouracle for main crop. It is somewhat 
onger than Chantenay. 
Improved Long Orange. Eleven to 12 
inches long, 234 inches in diameter, fapered 
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 
ust long enough to bunch well. Very pro- 
ise brittle, tender; sweet delicate flavor. 
M.-S. SOUTHERN PRIDE. An ideal me- 
dium-early stump-rooted Carrot, smooth 
and uniform in shape, averaging 5 inches 
in Iength, 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, distinct 
core, fine-grained, tender, and of excellent 
quality. 
Nantes. Six to 7 inches long and 14 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.

10 Vegetable Seeds 


CELERY 
One ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants 
Cutture. 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. 
Fordhook Giant. Dark green foliage and 
thick stalks, solid and large; golden heart. 
130 days. 
Giant Pascal. Regular stock. Fancy green. 
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 strimgs 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. 
Utah Tall Green. An early full-hearted 
green type of wonderful flavor and without 
stringiness. Stems thick, solid and fully 
rounded. 
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. 
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.
