CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—Plant the early varieties half an inch deep in a hot- 
bed in January or February and transplant when proper size and 
when freezing weather is past; they will stand a light frost. For 
late crop, plant Autumn Giant in May or June and treat exactly 
like late cabbage. Set the plants 15 to 18 inches apart in 3-foot 
rows. When the heads are about 2 inches across, tie up the outer 
leaves to blanch the head and protect them from the sun and 
weather; this prevents them becoming bitter and discolored.

COLLARDS 
CULTURE — One 
of the most popu- 
lar Southern vege- 
tables; largely 
used in place of 
cabbage. It is 
hardier and easier 
to grow than cab- 
bage, can be grown 
on poorer soil and 
withstands insect 
attacks better. Al- 
though often plant- 
ed during the 
spring and sum- 
mer, the principal 
plantings are made 
in June, July and 
August, transplant- 
ed two feet apart 
in the row and giv-|' 
en frequent culti- 
vation. A most ex- 
cellent vegetable 
for the late fall, 
winter and early 
spring. The flavor 
is improved by 
frost. Cultivate 
like cabbage. 
146. ; (80 Days)—A collard that heads up 
6. Carolina Header like-& cabbaee yetlehaxdsieh oder te 
stand more severe winters than any collard we know. It makes 
a nice sized solid head, with just enough bottom leaves to protect 
it. The stalk is very short, the head is firm, the slightly savoyed 
leaves are spaced close together; it is a late seeder, In flavor we 
do not believe any collard can compare with it. You can grow it 
on land so poor that it would not produce a crop of cabbage.

CELERY 
CULTURE—About 12 to 14 weeks before the plants are to be set 
in the garden plant 4% inch deep in boxes indoors, in hotbed, or 
outside when the ground can be worked. Keep the beds thoroughly 
moist until the seeds germinate. Transplant from June till Octo- 
ber, setting them 6 to 8 inches apart, earth up as they grow, but 
do not let earth get into the heart of the plant. Celery seeds 
germinate slowly; soak 24 hours before planting. 
They grow quickly and 
Self - Blanching Celeries blanch easily. The ease 
with which they are grown should give them a place in every 
home garden, Plant the self-blanching kinds for earliest use, and 
the winter varieties for general use later.
