EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS. 



Twenty varieties of carrots were under trial in 1901. These were all sown side 

 by side adjoining the turnips and mangels ; the land was similar in character and its 

 treatment and preparation was the same. The drills were made up two feet apart, and 

 rolled with a heavy land roller to make a firm bed before the seed was sown. Two 

 sowings were made of each sort, the first on May 8, the second on May 22. They were 

 also pulled on two different dates, the first pulling was on October 14, the second on 

 October 28. The yield per acre has been calculated in each case from the weight of 

 roots gathered from one row 66 feet long.
