4 QUALITY SEEDS FOR THE HOME GARDEN 
CARROTS 
Pkt. will sow 30 ft. row; 14 oz. 100 ft. 
To produce long, smooth carrots the soil must be worked deep to 8 or 10 inches and not 
allowed to become compacted. Young carrots are more tender and sweet for table use; there- 
fore, it is wise to make several sowings until about July 20th. Late sown carrots can be covered 
with sand in pits or root cellars for winter use. Nantes is by far the best home garden variety.

For early planting the seed should be 
started indoors or in hotbed in February or 
early March. For later celery sow seed in 
open ground as early as possible — cover seed 
lightly. 
180 CORNELL 19: 100 days. An early, easy 
blanching strain of outstanding quality. 
164 RED CORED CHANTENAY: 
superior to Nantes for tenderness and flavor. 
Roots are smooth, 6-7 in. long; 114 in. thick, 
cylindrical, stump-rooted and the flesh is a 
bright orange, sweet and tender. Tops are 
small and fairly strong for pulling. We 
highly recommend Nantes. Pkt. 20¢; 14 02.

163 LONG CHANTENAY: 70 days. Similar 
to Red Cored Chantenay but about one 
inch longer and only 75% red cored. This 
added length means more yield and adds 
to the attractiveness of the carrot. Pkt. 15¢;

Tops tall and strong. Roots deep reddish-

mand forces us to list this variety but per-

the family garden. It is not tender, nor is 
it sweet and it has an unappealing reddish- 
orange color. Pkt. 20¢; 14 0z. 35¢; oz. 55¢.

garden where quality is most important.

Best quality cauliflower is produced when planted to mature in the fall. Sow the seed out- 
doors in late spring and transplant in early July in rows 3 ft. apart and 18 to 24 inches apart 
in row. If your soil is light you can sow the seed thin in the row and then thin the plants 
to desired spacing without having to transplant. Plants are not checked in their growth at all 
when grown in this way. As soon as the heads begin to form, draw the leaves over and tie 
them together to protect and blanch the heads. CHICORY
