CARROTS 
Carrots succeed in any good garden soil. Sow the seed any time 
after the frost is out of the ground in rows about 15 inches apart, 
covering it about 14 inch deep and pressing down firmly. Thin the 
seedlings to 2 inches apart in the row. Make sowings every 3 to 4 
weeks from late March to the end of June. Carrots for winter 
storage should be sown in early June. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 200 feet of drill; 
3 to 4 pounds are required to sow an acre

CAULIFLOWER 
Sow the seed and treat the young plants exactly as you would 
cabbage, starting the spring crop in flats indoors or in the hotbed 
early in February and transplanting to the garden in May after 
danger from frost is past. Sow for fall crop in coldframe or seed- 
bed in May and transplant in June. Set the plants 14% feet 
_ apart, digging in plenty of manure if it is available. When the 
plants show signs of heading, water them freely. Finally, when 
the heads are about 2 inches in diameter, tie the outer leaves 
loosely together over the top with soft twine, to protect them from 
the sun and blanch them white. Days to maturity are from the 
time the plants are set in the garden. Allow about 30 days to pro- 
duce the plants from seed. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 4,000 plants

oz. $2.50, 141b. $8.00. 



CELERY 
Celery wants plenty of fertilizer—enrich the spot where you are 
going to grow it with manure, humus, or rich compost, or if you 
lack these, with a commercial fertilizer high in nitrogen. For 
early crops sow indoors or in a hotbed about April 1, barely cover- 
ing the seed with soil. When the seedlings are 2 to 3 inches high, 
thin out or transplant 114 to 2 inches apart. Set out by the end of 
May. For winter Celery, sow seed in a coldframe or sheltered spot 
in the garden about mid-April and reset in the trenches about 
July 1. It is a good plan to cut off the tops of the plants when they 
are 4. to 5 inches high to make them more stocky. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 7,500 plants
