EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS. 



Nineteen varieties of carrots were tested this year. As usual two sowings were 

 made of each variety, but owing to the drought the first sown seed germinated so 

 unevenly that accurate returns could not be obtained. 



The soil on which these roots were sown was a rich clay loam which had produced 

 a crop of com in 1899. The estimate of yield has been made from the roots produced 

 on two rows each 66 feet long. 



The first sowing was made on May 19 and the second on June 2. The seed 

 was sown in drills 18 inches apart. All were pulled on October 4.
