CAULIFLOWER 
This epicurean vegetable is esteemed by 
many connoisseurs as the best of all the 
cabbage tribe. It is more difficult to grow 
than any other plant of the-cabbage family, 
and like most of them, will not stand heat 
or drouth, which limits its culture to areas 
free of these conditions. The ideal soil 
for cauliflower is very fertile and moist, 
but well drained. Good preparation 
and enrichment are therefore necessary, 
and especially on sandy soils, humus will 
be incorporated to good advantage. 
It is best to start seed in flats or frames, 
the same as for cabbage, transplanting to 
their permanent spot in the garden after 
the danger of frost is passed. The dis- 
tance between plants should be 2 feet, 
with approximately 3 feet between the 
rows. Iwenty-five plants will probably 
be enough for a family of 5. A packet of 
seed is ample in most cases. 
Mt. Hood Snowball is the best early 
variety for this section of the country, 
having pure white, fine quality heads of 
medium uniform size. Earl Snowball is 
another popular variety, which produces 
medium to large round heads that are 
pure white when blanched.

CELERIAC 
This type of celery does not produce 
edible stalks, but instead a bulbous base 
of about 3 inches in diameter, very useful 
in the concoction of celery soup, or 
celery sauce. It is also an excellent vege- 
table in its own right when served in the 
manner of turnips, or sliced thinly into a 
salad bowl. It is raised in the same 
manner as celery.

CELERY 
Celery is such a fastidious plant, and 
demands so much from the garden, that 
under ordinary circumstances, its produc- 
tion is. better left to specialized com- 
mercial growers. Briefly, the conditions 
for celery growing are a light soil, full 
of humus and fertilizer, continuous mois- 
ture and persistent attention of the 
gardener. 
Golden self-blanching is probably the 
best all-around early variety and Utah, 
which is the standard pascal type, is 
recommended for the late crop. A 
packet of seed will produce ample plants 
for an average family.

CHICORY 
One of the easiest vegetables to grow 
and one of the most rewarding through 
the following winter is the chicory 
known as witloof, which is to say white 
leaf. It is delicious in salads when used 
as Endive or Coos Lettuce with French 
Dressing. The leaves and stems blanch 
easily. Sow the seed thinly in the row, 
cover it lightly, and firm it down. Re- 
strain the weeds until the chicory is big 
enough to smother them. Thin the plants 
to six inches apart when three or four 
inches high, using the thinnings either to 
extend the row or to be boiled for 
greens. A packet of seed will easily 
plant a twenty-five foot row, which is 
ample for the average family. 
Packet, 10c. 
Witloof: Type grown for greens. Leaves 
and stems blanch easily. 
Large Rooted: Roots of this plant used 
as coffee substitute.
