Carrots 
A packet will sow 40 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet; 3 pounds per acre. 
Golden Carrots, served cooked or raw, are a welcome delicacy on a menu 
the year around. If you have a sandy corner in your garden, sow your 
carrots there for the smoothest roots. Several rows reseeded at regular in- 
tervals from early spring through July, will provide you with a good supply 
of this garden favorite. Don’t neglect to thin the plants to a distance of 
several inches apart. Gardeners classify Carrot seed as a slow germinator.

coreless Carrot of the Chantenay type. Here it is at last. Instead of the

Cauliflower 
One ounce will produce 1500 to 2000 plants in open ground, or about 3000 plants 
in frame; a packet about 150 plants. 
For an early crop, start the seed indoors or under glass in late February 
and set plants into the garden when soil has become warm. For a main or 
fall crop, sow the seed in a specially prepared seed-bed or cold frame dur- 
ing June and set plants out in early July. It takes about 30 to 40 days for 
the plants to grow large enough for setting into the field. Days to maturity 
are from the time the plants are set out in the garden. 
363 Snowdrift Pkt., 25c; %4 0z., 90c; % oz., $1.70; 0z., $3.00 
(60 days.) (Also called Improved Holland, Erfurt and White Moun- 
tain.) This grand variety is noted for its extremely white heads. The 
heads are outstanding, due to being large and deep, and with a fine tight 
curd. The plants have large leaves and cover the heads extremely well. 
This improved strain has conquered the market by leaps and bounds. 
During the past year our strain has shown to be among the leaders for 
true stock. You will not regret planting Snowdrift.
