CHINESE or CELERY CABBAGE 
This vegetable originated in China, belongs to the cabbage family although the heads resemble 
celery in shape. In the raw state the flavor is superior to cabbage and is becoming increasingly pop- 
ular as a salad vegetable. Plant the seed outdoors not earlier than July 1st in rows 21% feet apart and 
thin to 16 to 18 inches apart. If sown too early it runs to seed and is useless. Matures in 8 to 10 
weeks. 1 oz. will sow 200 feet of row. 
CHIHILI. 75 Days 
One of the most popular sorts of 
Chinese Cabbage. Early and de- 
pendable. Heads 20 inches tall, 4 
inches in diameter. Apple green in 
color. Long, compact, with a firm, 
crisp interior. 
MICHIHLI 72 Days 
Do not fail to try this latest devel- 
opment for better results and 
greater profits. Our strain of Mich- 
ihli is far more uniform, surer head- 
ing, vigorous and has rich dark 
green leaves without a yellowish 
cast. Heads are psssibly larger 
than the older Chihili, well 
blanched, firm, crisp and fine 
flavored. It has produced crops 
with 95° marketable heads. 
CARROTS 
One packet will sow 25 feet of row; 
one ounce 200 feet; 2 to 3 lbs. will 
sow an acre. 
Carrots require about the same simple 
care as beets. Plant the seed 14 inch deep 
in loose well prepared soil in rows 16 to 24 
inches apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants 
are well established and thin to 2 or 4 inches 
in the row according to the size of the va- 
riety. Plantings may be made from early 
spring to June 15th. For winter storage the 
later date is advisable. Freshly manured 
soil often causes divided roots and it is 
therefore best to plant in soil that has been 
richly fertilized the previous season. 
DANVERS RED-CORED 75 Days 
An improved strain of Danvers

brighter color, more attractive in 
appearance. Interior deeper orange 
with an indistinct core. Excellent 
quality. Adapted to Market Gar- 
den and home garden use. Makes 
an excellent bunching carrot.
