Early Snowball, select strain 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is easy to grow if properly cared for, al- 
though to be a profitable market crop it is somewhat 
particular as to soil and location. For the early crop 
it should be planted in a greenhouse or hot bed in 
March and transplanted as soon as weather will permit. 
Sow in May and transplant 18 inches apart for the 
late crop. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently to keep 
plants in good growing condition. When heads begin to 
form it may be necessary to bunch the leaves together 
and tie loosely to protect them from the sun.

CELERY 
For both market and home use there is no more highly 
esteemed vegetable than Celery. As the seed is small 
is requires careful planting. Sow in drills one-fourth inch 
deep in early Spring. The soil should be well pulverized 
and the seed lightly covered with soil pressed firmly over 
it. Additional sowings may be made but usually the 
early plantings germinate best. Transplant in rows 3 
feet apart, leaving 3 to 4 inches between plants, or for 
extra large stalks 6 to 8 inches. Keep well cultivated 
and as cool weather approaches draw the soil up around 
the plants. Continue until only the tops of the plants 
remain uncovered. Blanching of early Celery is often 
accomplished with boards or building paper set against 
the rows instead of soil. Late Celery should be pitted 
or placed in cellars before freezing weather.
