I oz. will sow a row 100 ft. long and pro- 
duce from 2500 to 3000 plants; %4 lb. will 
produce enough plants to set an acre. 
Curture: Cauliflower needs good garden 
soil, with adequate moisture and fertilizer.

like cabbage. When transplanted to the open 
ground, plants should be 18 tmches apart in 
rows 214 feet apart. Cauliflower should be 
planted so as to head in cool weather, for it 
cannot stand the heat of midsummer. When 
the heads are about 4 inches in diameter, 
they may be tied up to aid blanching.

CELERY 
1 oz. will plant a row 100 ft. long and 
produce 3000 to 5000 plants; Y4lb. will pro- 
duce enough plants to set an acre. 
Cutrure: The cultivation of Celery in a 
hot climate is attended with some difficulty, 
but in deep, rich soil good Celery can be 
grown if a little extra care is taken. In the 
latitude of Norfolk for an early crop, sow the 
seed in a greenhouse in January and trans- 
plant to hotbeds in March. For a late crop, 
sow the seed in May and set out in August. 
Celery seed is slow to germinate, so before 
sowing the seed, get the soil in as fine con- 
dition as possible. Make rows 3 or 4 inches 
apart, and sow the seed evenly in the rows. 
Barely cover the seed, and press the soil 
firmly over it. The soil should be kept moist 
until the seed germinates. When set out in 
hotbeds the rows are usually 11 mches apart, 
and the plants 6 inches in the row. Hotbed 
Celery is blanched by being planted close 
together. When set in the field, the rows are 
3 to 4 feet apart, and the plants 8 inches in 
the row. Field-grown Celery is blanched by 
drawing the earth around the plants, or 
board or paper may be used. Celery requires 
a lot of moisture, but do not work the ground 
when the soil or the plants are wet, and when 
drawing the earth to the plants, take care 
not to cover the top of the center shoot.
