BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Easy to grow wherever conditions are 
favorable for late cabbage, and requires 
same culture. As sprouts begin to form 
remove lower leaves so that all nourish- 
ment sent to lower stem will be forced 
into the sprouts. Do not use until after 
heads have matured. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED—Compact, uni- 
form dwarf size plants. Cabbage-like sprouts 
144” to 14%” in diameter. One of the most 
dependable varieties Edible in 90 days. 
CABBAGE 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD — Point-head, 
large, hardy. Splendid first early cabbage 
for home use, Plants medium, vigorous, 
slightly spreading. Leaves rather large, 
smooth and thick. 71-75 days to maturity. 
CHIEFTAIN SAVOY—All America Top 12. 
Flattened globe-shaped, Crumpled leaves. 
Outstanding quality. 88 days to maturity. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET — Excellent, early 
short season type. Short stems, 6¥2-in., 342 
to 4-lb. heads. 65 to 70 days. 
EARLY FLAT DUTCH—Good second early 
variety. Plants medium. Very vigorous. 
Large, flat solid heads 6-in. deep, 11 to 12- 
in. in diameter, 11 to 12-lb. Edible in 90 
days. 
GOLDEN ACRE—Fxtra early variety produc- 
ing uniform well-balanced head. Weighs 
about 3 lbs. Excellent quality, 65 days. 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
Must never be grown as a spring crop 
since it will only go to seed. Plant after 
June 15, as days are getting shorter, then 
it will head. An excellent succession crop 
to follow early peas, 
MICHIHLI—Exceptionally sure heading new 
variety. Heads firmer and often larger than 
those of Chihli, Tender, fine flavored. 70 
days. 
CARROTS 
CHANTENAY, RED CORED (fr) — Root has 
thick shoulder and tapers to slight stump 
root, 5-in. long, Red cored. 70 days, 
DANVERS HALF LONG — Sweet, tender 
roots, 6 to 7-in, long tapering to a blunt 
point, Fine for storing, 75 days, 
22 
season. 
IMPROVED IMPERATOR (fr)—All America 
Top 12. Fine-grained, tender. Rich orange, 
indistinct core, Roots smooth, tapered to 
semi-blunt, 77 days, 
LONG ORANGE (Stock Carrot) — Large, 
strong tops. 11” roots taper to a point. Red- 
orange color, Flesh similar in color to ex- 
terior with core of lighter shade. 88 days. 
OXHEART OR GUERANDE — Excellent for 
shallow soil, easy to harvest. Chunky, 
tender and sweet. Bright orange, Keeps 
well. 72 to 75 days. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Packet 25 Cents 
Needs rich soil and abundant watering. 
Cultivate same as cabbage but protect 
heads from sunlight to insure the prized 
white curd. This is done by gathering 
leaves together loosely as soon as heads 
begin forming, and tying them well at 
the top. 
EARLY SNOWBALL (fr) — Best and most 
widely used early variety. Medium, firm 
compact heads of fine flavor, 6-7 inches in 
diameter. 55 days.

GROWING BETTER BEANS 
Sow beans in bottom of furrow 3” to 4” deep and from 2% to 3¥% 
feet between rows, but do not fill in with more than 142” of soil 
over seeds. Press soil firmly over seeds, but do not pack hard. Thin 
to stand 4” to 6’ apart in row. Bean seedlings are likely to be 
slowed up pushing through heavy soil. In such soils, cover seeds 
with mixture of half sand and half soil, or sand and peat or any 
other loose, light material that will allow seedlings to break through 
easily, Thin young plants to about 6” apart. Keep cultivated until 
plants blossom. DO NOT CULTIVATE when blossoms are at prime 
or when plants are wet with dew. Keep vines picked to insure a 
larger bearing period. Don’t plant until the weather is warm and 
settled. Make plantings every two weeks for supplies throughout the 
—Two scientific facts about beans will help produce better crops. 
First, being legumes, they should be inoculated with special legume 
culture, such as NITRAGIN. This enables plants to manufacture their 
own nitrogen from the air. Second, bud drop of the tiny flowers 
(even before they can be easily seen) cuts the early set of pods.

HOW TO GROW CABBAGE <A, 
For early cabbage, sow the seed in fine soil in flats in the hot bed 
4 to 6 weeks before plants are to be set out, Plant the seed ¥2 inch 
deep in drills two to three inches apart. Don't make the soil too 
rich, since it is likely to make the seedlings grow too fast and 
become leggy. Water and keep in temperature 50 to 60 degrees. 
When seedlings are 3 to 4 inches high, prick out and replant in flats 
or boxes. This will insure stocky, healthy plants. 
Set the seedlings out on a warm cloudy day and put out a sowing 
of the midseason varieties for kraut at the same time right in the 
open ground. When raising seedlings of the late, or winter variety, 
follow the same method, but the flats or boxes are kept outdoors, 
rather than under glass. Frequent cultivation is needed to keep down 
weeds and conserve soil moisture. About three weeks after the 
plants are set out, topdress with nitrate of soda, %4 lb. per 100 feet. 
This is necessary only for early season varieties.

CELERY 
Start in shaded hotbed 60 days before 
needed. Cover seeds Y4”. Transplant 
when 6” high. In setting outdoors, don’t 
get soil in or over crown, Set 7” to 12” 
apart. Soil must be rich, moist and loose, 
As soon as plants have grown to 14” to 
15” tall, set 12” boards on both sides 
Or 4” drain tile can be used to blanch 
individual stalks. Celery must have warm, 
settled weather. If chilled, plants are 
likely to go to seed. Keep soil well 
fertilized and moist, Crop matures in 
cool weather of autumn. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING, DWARF— 
Compact plants, yellowish green foliage, 
Broad solid stalks, nutty flavor, Blanches 
readily, 120 days. 
COLLARDS 
Sow seed heavily and transplant when 
4” high; or sow in rows in permanent 
beds and thin to 16” to 18” apart 
when plants are well started. 
CABBAGE COLLARDS—Combines qualities 
of cabbage and collards, but finer flavored 
than either. 
SOUTHERN OR GEORGIA — An excellent 
cooked green. Long stemmed plant, with 
clustered leaves, Withstands heat and bad 
soil, 24 to 36 days.
