EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS. 



The plots of carrots were sown May 20 and duplicate ones two weeks later, June 3. 

 Each plot consisted of 2 rows 6Q feet long. The roots were gathered October 24, 



The land was adjoining the turnip and mangel plots and received the same prepar- 

 ation and treatment. The rows were run 24 inches apart, raked off by hand and a mark 

 made along the top of the row, into which the seed was dropped, and covered, with a 

 garden rake.
