THE BEST TABLE CARROTS 
Carrots have become a very popular vegetable from the consumer’s standpoint, since nutrition specialists 
have pointed out their value in the human diet. They add flavor to soups and meats, besides being healthful, 
delicious and to an extent ornamental, and should be more largely used. In addition to their table uses, they 
are a nutritious food for all kinds of stock and poultry. 
Culture. Carrots do best in rich, light loamy soil, and where the soil is shallow or stiff, select the short

tip. As plants mature, the inner stem and leaves turyn white and consequently require less earthing and 
blanchine héfore they are in condition to use for market. 
CELERY 
Culture, For the earliest crop the seed should be sown in hotbeds from the middle of February to the end 
of March. For main crop sow in open ground March or April, according to the weather, in rows 15 inches 
apart. The seed is sometimes slow to germinate, and in dry and hot weather water well. Careful weeding by 
hand will have to be done until the young plants get started. Seed sown in beds should be transplanted. When 
the plants are set in the open field, trim the tops off and put in rows about 5 feet apart, setting plants 6 to 8 
inches apart. Cultivate constantly during the growing season, and as the crop matures it must be earthed up 
Leaves are light, bright green at the base, shading nearly white at the 
CELTUCE 
100. Easy to grow. Plants grow quickly, forming a rosette of light 
green leaves which may be eaten as a salad, or cooked as “greens.” 
In less than 90 days after seed is sown, the central stem or stalk is 
usable and will be found most tender at this age. The stalks are solid 
throughout, the stem greenish white and tough, but the inside is very 
succulent, most delicate pale green, crisp and brittle. The stalk may be 
eaten raw or cooked. In either case, the outer skin is removed, and only 
the tender, light green heart is eaten. As a raw vegetable, the centers 
of the stalks are cut into four- or five-inch lengths and split lengthwise,, 
chilled and eaten as you would celery or carrets with salt. Cooked 
CELTUCE stalks are pale green, attractive, and have a pleasing, mild 
flavor, suggestive of celery or lettuce. It can be cooked in many ways 
such as celery au gratin; steamed like asparagus and served with a 
favorite sauce; or plain boiled and served hot with butter and lemon 
sauce. 
Make first sowing of seed as soon as ground can be worked in the 
spring. Succession sowings at intervals of a week or ten days until 
July first, will give a continuous. supply. Seed may also be started in- 
doors four to five weeks before outdoor planting time and the seedlings 
set in the open as early as the ground can be worked. 
Grow CELTUCE—it is good, it is interesting, and it is healthful. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Culture. For early spring or summer crop sow the seed in January 
or February indoors or under glass. When the plants have four leaves, 
transplant to cold frames for development. Toward the end of March 
or early part of April, set in open field and cultivate the same as cab- 
bage. For fall use sow at the same time as late cabbage and treat in 
the same manner. Cauliflower will not head -in very hot weather— 
hence for fall use, too early sowing is not desirable. 
One-fourth ounce produces about 500 plants. One ounce will make 
enough plants to set 1 acre.

ing. Large size, pure white flowers, of most excellent qualit
