CAULIFLOWER 
% oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
The same methods that produce good 
cabbage will grow good cauliflower. The 
only great difference is that cauliflower 
heads must be protected from sunlight 
so as to make sure of the desirable white 
curd. Gather the tops of the leaves to- 
gether loosely as soon as the heads begin 
to form. In shutting off the light, it is 
important not to cramp the heads. Pkt.

Early Snowball (52 days). The best for 
greenhouse forcing, early market, and 
shipping. Plants very dwarf. Heads 
snow white, deep, smooth and compact: 
about 6 inches across, weighing about 
1% to 2 pounds. The standard of excel- 
lence in cauliflower. (FZ) 
CELERY 
% oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
Sow from February to May in drills 1 
foot apart. Later, usually in June, trans- 
plant to rows 8 feet apart, setting plants 
6 inches apart in row. Rows should be 
furrowed out so plants may be set 6 
inches below the garden level. Later, 
soil may be banked against rows for 
blanching, even so-called self-blanching 
varieties need the cool, moist soil to ren- 
der the stalks crisp and tender, but this 
should not be done until a few weeks 
before harvesting. One ounce of seed 
ee produce five thousand plants. Pkt.
