Late or Winter Varieties 
CHIEFTAN SAVOY—88 days. Flattened 
globe-shaped. Crumpled leaves. Outstand- 
ing quality. 
PENN STATE BALLHEAD—105 days. 
Special strain of Danish Ballhead. Heads 
almost globular. Excellent winter keeper 
and high yielder. Good for kraut. 
Red Variety 
MAMMOTH RED ROCK—Best of the red 
cabbages. Hard, round. Purplish-red 
heads. Good keeper, 6 to 8-in., 7 to 8 lb. 
heads. 100 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. 
CHIHILI—70 days. One of the most popu- 
lar sorts of Chinese Cabbage. Early in 
season and dependable. A distinct, long, 
straight, pointed type head. At the edible 
stage it is very firm, well balanced, crisp, 
tender, and of sweet flavor. 
WONG BOK—75 days. A short, blocky, 
solid, sure-heading variety, good for 
market or home use. The light green 
outer leaves are tightly folded, blanching 
the inner part into a solid, crisp, tender, 
white head of fine quality. 
Carrots 
Use sandy loam enriched by manure the 
previous year, if possible; but any good 
land if deeply and well worked will pro- 
duce a good crop. Sow seed as early as 
ground can be worked. Sow seed 15” to 
1” deep in drills 16” to 18’ apart. Press 
soil firmly above seed. When plants ap- 
pear use cultivator or wheel hoe and thin 
from 2” to 6” apart, according to type. 
Keep cultivated. 
CHANTENAY, RED CORED (fr)—70 days. 
Root has thick shoulder and tapers to 
slight stump root, 5-in. long. Red cored. 
DANVERS HALF LONG—75 days. Sweet, 
tender roots, 6 to 7-in. long tapering to a 
blunt point. Fine for storing. 
RED vs. YELLOW 
More people grow tomatoes than any 
other vegetable. It's because tomatoes 
are very healthful and delicious and 
they play such an important and varied 
part in the everyday family diet. Red 
varieties are most commonly grown, 
but yellow JUBILEE, the golden- 
fleshed, mild, sub-acid variety, is re- 
lished by those who can't get along 
with the more acid red sorts. JUBILEE 
slices beautifully for garnishing, and 
adds an attractive golden color to the 
salads. Try growing this yellow variety 
this year along with the red. If you 
have plenty of space and a long grow- 
ing season, you can choose from the 
following excellent red varieties: 
EARLIANA, a  first-early; PRITCH- 
ARD, RUTGERS or MARGLOBE, mid- 
season croppers and STONE IM- 
PROVED, a good late, which is notably 
fine for slicing and canning. 
IMPERIDA—77 days. A brand new carrot 
with a long, slender root, and a short 
strong top. The roots are a deep orange 
and from 7” to 8” long. 
IMPROVED IMPERATOR (fr)—77 days. 
Fine-grained, tender. Rich orange, indis- 
tinct core. Roots tapered to semi-blunt. 
NANTES IMPROVED CORELESS (fr)— 
70 days. Excellent for forcing. Tops small, 
roots bright orange, blunt ended. Flesh 
reddish orange and practically coreless. 
OXHEART OR GUERANDE—72 days. Ex- 
cellent for shallow soil, easy to harvest. 
Chunky, tender and sweet. Bright orange. 
Cauliflower 
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)—55 days. Best 
and most widely used early variety. Med- 
ium, firm compact heads of fine flavor. 
6-7 inches in diameter. 
Celeriac 
LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE—120 days. 
(Turnip rooted celery). Smooth spherical 
roots. 2 to 3-in. thick. 
Celery 
Start in shaded hotbed 60 days before 
needed. Cover seeds 14”. 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 of row 
and hold in place with earth. 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 autumn. 
GIANT PASCAL—140 days. Late variety 
for winter use. Large plant, dark green 
leaves. Big solid stalks that blanch to 
yellow white. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING, DWARF— 
115 days. Compact plants, yellowish 
green foliage. Broad solid stalks, nutty 
flavor. Blanches readily. 
GOLDEN PLUME—112 days. Early, med- 
ium plant with compact, full heart. 
Blanches early to golden yellow. 
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. 
SOUTHERN OR GEORGIA—75 days. An 
excellent cooked green. Long stemmed 
plant, with clustered leaves. Withstands 
heat and bad soil. 
Sweet Corn 
Rows should be 3’ to 4’ apart. Seed 12” 
to 18” apart in rows or hills, covering 
with fine soil 1” to 2” deep firmly pressed 
down. In hills, plant 4 to 6 grains per 
hill. Later thin to 2 to 3 stalks to a hill. 
Make several plantings at intervals of 14 
days for continuous crop. 
The Most Food in the Least Space 
Plan to get the most out of your 
garden by successive planting, and 
companion cropping. The garden 
plan here shows how to get the most 
out of the least space by utilizing 
these two methods. 
Successive cropping may be carried 
out in two ways. One crop may fol- 
low another in the same season. . . 
late cabbage or sweet corn may be 
planted in the space from which 
early peas, beans lettuce or rad- 
ishes have been harvested. 
Companion cropping is the grow- 
ing of two or more crops on the 
same area at the same time. The 
early crops will have time to ma- 
ture and be harvested before the 
later ones will require the entire 
space for full development.
