CARROT—FOR THE TABLE— Continued 
MORSE’S BUNCHING 77 
Tops short; foliage rather coarsely cut and stems medium size and strong. 
Roots at maturity are 144 to 1% by 8 inches in size, almost cylindrical, 
with rounded shoulders, and are well stumped. 
NANTES HALF LONG OR CORELESS 70 
Tops of medium size, roots cylindrical, smooth, bright orange; flesh 
orange, becoming yellow in center but with no distinct core. Excellent 
for the market or home garden 
OX HEART OR GUERANDE 72 
Tops small for the size of the roots, which are comparatively short, but 
often reach a diameter of 5 inches, terminating abruptly in a small tap 
root. Flesh bright orange, fine grained and sweet. This variety is espe- 
cially desirable for soil so hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would 
not thrive in it. When young, excellent for table use, and when mature 
equally good for stock. 
TOUCHON 70 
Similar to Nantes but a little larger. Small topped, smooth, cylindrical, 
bright orange, core very small and inconspicuous. Well adapted to canning 
and freezing. | 
CARROT — FOR STOCK FEEDING 
IMPROVED SHORT WHITE OR MASTODON 90 
Late, heavy cropper; one of the best for stock. Roots 7 to 8 inches long, 
3 inches thick at the top; tapered, pointed; easily harvested. 
LARGE ORANGE BELGIAN 90 
This is similar to Large White Belgian in growth and form but flesh and 
skin of the portion growing below the soil are of a pale orange coloring. 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN 90 
Grows a third or more above the surface. Roots will average 2 inches 
in diameter at the shoulder and a foot or more in length. Are easily 
pulled in harvesting and do not have to be dug out like most long rooted 
sorts. Flesh and skin pure white, tinged with green in upper portion 
growing above the soil. 
CARDOON 
LARGE SOLID 
In appearance and growth is like the Globe Artichoke, to which it is 
closely related, and — like the Artichoke — it is a perennial. Grown 
for its leaf stalks, which — when blanched — are used in salads or 
cooked and served like asparagus. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cunture. For very early Cauliflower sow in hotbed in January or 
February; transplant to flats or cold frames and set out as soon as 
the ground is warm in the spring, setting 2 to 2% feet apart each way. 
One ounce grows 2,500 plants and four to six ounces plant an acre. Cauli- 
flower cannot be expected to mature satisfactorily in hot, dry weather 
so must have plenty of water especially when the plants are heading. When 
the head appears, tie the outer leaves over the head or pin these leaves 
with wood pins or beef skewers so the leaves will shade and blanch the 
head and then cut the head before it starts to branch. Remember that 
all the enemies of cabbage emphatically attack Cauliflower and are to be 
combated in a like manner. For early fall and late Cauliflower, plant in 
open ground in April, transplanting in June, giving same cultivation you 
wouki Cabbage. The number of days given is the time required from 
setting plants to mature heads.
