CARROTS 
Carrots succeed in any good garden soil. 
Sow the seed any time after the frost is out 
of the ground in rows about 15 inches apart, 
covering it about '4 inch deep and pressing 
down firmly. Thin the seedlings to 2 inches 
apart in the row. Make sowings every 3 or 4 
weeks from late March to the end of June. 
Carrots for winter storage should be sown in 
early June. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 200 feet 
of drill; 3 to 4 pounds are required to 
sow an acre

Sow the seed and treat the young plants ex- 
actly as you would cabbage, starting the spring 
crop in flats indoors or in the hotbed early in 
February and transplanting to the garden in 
May after danger from frost is past. Sow for 
fall crop in coldframe or seedbed in May and 
transplant in June. Set the plants 1/2 feet 
apart, digging in plenty of manure if it is 
available. When the plants show signs of 
heading, water them freely. Finally, when the 
heads are about 2 inches in diameter, tie the 
outer leaves loosely together over the top with 
soft twine, to protect them from the sun and 
blanch them white. Days to maturity are from 
the time the plants are set in the garden. 
Allow about 30 days to produce the plants 
from seed. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 
4,000 plants 
Select Early Snowball. * 60 days. Extra-early 
and one of the surest headers. It produces 
deep, solid heads of medium size, pure white, 
and of fine quality. Being compact in growth, 
the plants can be set close together. Pkt. 25 
cts., Y4oz. $1.25, oz. $2.25, 07. $4.00. 
Snowdrift. * 60 days. Somewhat more 
vigorous than Snowball and selected to pro- 
duce a larger head without losing materially 
in earliness. The pure white heads are remark- 
able for their great depth and unexcelled white 
color, and the curd is of fine texture and free 
from small protruding leaves. Very productive 
and one of the surest headers known. Pkt. 25 
cts., 140z. $1.25, oz. $2.25, 02. $4.00.

CELERY 
Celery wants plenty of fertilizer—enrich 
the spot where you are going to grow it with 
manure, humus, or rich compost, or if you 
lack these, with a commercial fertilizer high in 
nitrogen. For early crops sow indoors or in a 
hotbed about April 1, barely covering the seed 
with soil. When the seedlings are 2 to 3 inches 
high, thin out or transplant 1/2 to 2 inches 
apart. Set out by the end of May. For winter 
Celery, sow seed in a coldframe or sheltered 
spot in the garden about mid-April and reset 
in the trenches about July 1. It is a good plan 
to cut off the tops of the plants when they 
are 4 to 5 inches high to make them more 
stocky. 
Days to maturity are figured from the 
time the plants are set in the garden 
An ounce of seed will produce about 
7,500 plants
