CARROTS—(Continued) 





















NANTES STRONG TOP CARROT 
CAULIFLOWER 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; 
an ounce about 4000 plants. 
CULTURE. For spring or early summer crop 
sow in March or early in April in hotbed and 
transplant to cold frame when sufficiently large, 
and to the open ground as soon as danger of 
hard freezing is over. The plants will endure a 
light frost. The soil for cauliflower should be 
like that for cabbage but it is better if made 
richer than is ordinarily used for that crop. For 
late crop sow at the same time as for late cab- 
bage. Cauliflower heads must be protected from 
sunlight to obtain the desirable white curd. This 
is accomplished by gathering the tops of the 
leaves together loosely as soon as the heads 
begin to form. In shutting off the light, it is 
important not to cramp the heads. 
EARLY SNOWBALL 
RED CORED, CHANTENAY 
A distinct improvement over 
the well known? Chantenay. 
Roots 514 to 6 inches long 
and 2% inches thick at the 
shoulder, tapered, stump 
rooted. Flesh reddish orange, 
fine grained. tender and_de- 
licious flavor. Roots are 
evenly stumped, free from 
large eyes and side rootlets. 
TOUCHON 
A fine coreless carrot, roots 
smooth, 6 to 8 inches long, 
1 to 1% inches thick, cylin- 
drical, stump rooted. The 
tops sufficiently strong for 
bunching so that it can be 
recommended for both 
bunching and for basket 
carrots. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY CARROT 
Extremely early and the most popular variety for greenhouse forcing and 
early markets. Excellent also for main crop if planted late. Heads snow 
white, deep, smooth and compact. The standard of excellence in cauliflower.
