Occasional Dusting with “Slug-Shot” Destroys Cabbage Worms 

CARROTS for Vitamin A 
Carrot seed should be sown in April for an early crop and 
until the first of July for a later one. Make the surface 
smooth, and plant in drills 14 inches apart; cover not more 
than 14 inch, and thin to 3 to 4 inches apart In the rows. Like 
all root crops, a rich, sandy loam, deeply cultivated, which 
has been well manured for a previous crop, is most suitable 
for Carrots. Strong, fresh manure should never be used. 
An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 
3 or 4 lbs. for one acre 
Chantenay. For table use it is probably the best in shape 
and finest in quality, a little longer than Scarlet Horn 
and broader at the top. The flesh is a beautiful, rich 
orange color. Very uniform in size.

SUPERIOR CAULIFLOWER 
There is no more delicious vegetable grown than the 
Cauliflower. With a deep, rich soil, plenty of moisture, and 
thorough cultivation, it is almost as easily grown as cabbage. 
For an early crop, the seed may be sown in September and 
the plants wintered in well-protected coldframes, or sown 
in hotbeds early in March, and when sufficiently large, 
transplanted in coldframes and gradually hardened by ex- 
posure. When the weather will permit, set in the open 
ground in rows 3 feet apart, with 2 feet between the plants 
in the row. For fall crops sow at the same time and treat 
in the same manner as late cabbage. Cauliflower will not 
head in hot, dry weather; therefore the time of planting 
should be regulated so it will head either in early summer 
or in autumn. Keep well watered when it begins to head. 
If the leaves are drawn up and tied loosely over the head, 
it will hasten blanching. Cut before the flower begins to 
open. 
One ounce will produce about 2000 plants

CELERY 
More than any other vegetable, Celery demands intelli- 
gent and careful culture. The seed is very small and slow 
to germinate; with the inexperienced a good stand of plants 
is an exception. For an early crop, sow in shallow boxes in 
gentle heat in March, and for a later one, sow about the 
middle of April in a finely prepared seedbed, in rows so that 
the plants can be kept free from weeds. Cover not more 
than 4 inch, and press down firmly with the back of the 
spade or a board. Be sure to keep the bed constantly moist 
(a partially shaded location is favorable on this account), 
or spread matting or burlap directly on the soil, until the 
plants begin to prick through the ground, when it should be 
Immediately removed. When the plants are large enough 
to handle, thin and transplant 4 Inches apart In a rich, 
deep, sandy Joam, rather moist. Clip off the tops when 
about 4 inches high to make them stocky. Plant out from 
the middle of June until the middle of July in rows 3 to 4 
feet apart, and 8 inches apart in the rows. In setting, care 
should be taken not to cover the crowns and to press the 
earth firmly about the roots. The plants should be hilled 
or banked for blanching; this should be done gradually, 
usually in two or three operations a week or so apart, the 
last time almost to the tips of the leaves. 
One ounce will produce about 4000 plants
