CARROTS 
February to April—August to October 
Sow seed 4 inch deep in loose, well-prepared soil. Thin to 2 to 4 inches 
when well established. Plant several crops at intervals to assure an ample sup- 
ply. Best germination will be secured if ground is moist when seed is sown so no 
additional watering will be necessary until plants have broken through. Watering 
after seed is planted will form a surface crust that the plants often are unable 
to penetrate. One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 3 to 4 Ibs. to the acre. 
DANVERS HALF LONG. 75 days. A good late variety. 
Bright orange in color and richly flavored. Excellent keeper. 
A prime favorite because of its brilliant market appearance. 
Flesh tender and crisp. Our strain is outstanding. 
IMPERATOR. 77 days. A longer type root 7 to 8 inches 
long, graceful, smooth and uniformly tapered to a semi-blunt 
end. Flesh is rich orange-red and extends to center of root, 
with indistinct core. The dark green tops are medium, but 
strong enough for good bunching. Finest quality for table use.

WATCH OUT FOR 
THIS RASCAL: 
He’s a striped Cucumber Beetle. 
The larvae feed only on the 
roots of cucumber, muskmelon, 
winter squash, pumpkin, water 
melon, etc., but the beetles 
feed also on beans, peas, corn 
and other vegetables. Beetles 
are yellowish with 3. black 
stripes; about 1/5 inch long. 
Control at first sign of infesta- 
tion with STAFFEL’S SABADIL- 
LA DUST or STAFFEL’S PYRO- 
CIDE DUST. 
CAULIFLOWER 
February to April—August to September 
This one needs a rich soil and lots of moisture. Cultivate same as cabbage 
except that unlike cabbage, cauliflower heads must be protected from sunlight 
in o:der to insure the much desired white curd. This is accomplished by gather- 
ing the leaves together loosely as soon as the heads begin to form and tying 
them at the top. One ounce will produce 2000 strong plants; / pound to the 
acre, 
SNOWBALL “X”. Plants are large and erect with ample 
fuiiage for head covering. Leaves are rather long, rather 
straight, plain edged, and medium bright green color, 
slightly darker than Early Snowball. Heads are large, smooth, 
very deep, very solid and pure white. We heartily recommend 
this type above all others for the Southwest and South Texas

Needs constant and abundant moisture. Will sprout at comparatively low 
temperatures. Soil for starting should be fine and loose, and the seed must be 
covered only 2 inch deep. Two week germination. Plant drills 8 to 10 inches 
apart. Transplant seedlings to the field when 6 inches high, allowing 6 to 8 
inches between plants, in rows or double rows 5 to 7 feet apart for soil blanching, 
or 2 to 4 feet for other methods. One ounce will produce about 3000 plants; 
2 to 4 ounces will set an acre.

CORN 
February to April; August 
Plant seed kernels after all danger of frost is past and the ground has be- 
come thoroughly warm. Sow in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, spacing seeds 4 to 6 
inches apart in the row and thinning later to 12 inches; or plant in hills 3 to 4 
feet each way, allowing 2 to 4 plants to remain in each hill, depending on the 
fertility of the soil. For a continuous crop plant at 10 to 14-day intervals. 
Plant corn in blocks rather than in single rows to allow for satisfactory pollena- 
tion which assures development of a full set of kernels. A “‘hill’’ is merely a 
shallow hole made with the corner of the hoe. Drop in the seed and cover with 
about 2 inches of fine soil, pressing down firmly around bump to make slight 
“hill.” One pound will plant 100 ‘hills’; 10 to 12 pounds to the acre.

CUCUMBERS 
March to May; August 
Plant seed when danger of frost is over in a rich, loamy soil. Sow the seed 
in hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, putting 6 to 8 seeds to each hill, and cover with one 
inch of fine soil. Thin out to 4 healthiest vines when second set of leaves have 
formed. Have soil moist when planting so that no additional watering is required 
until seeds have germinated, as too much water may rot seeds. After vines begin 
to set fruit, irrigating freely is permissible. One ounce of seed will make about 
50 hills; 2 to 3 Ibs. per acre.
