EXPERIMENTS WITH CAEEOTS. 



The yield of carrots was a very irregular one, a few of the varieties giving large 

 returns while others were scarcely an average crop. 



The soil on which these roots were sown was a rich loam, summer-fallowed the 

 previous year. The estimate of yield has been made from the roots produced on two 

 rows each 66 feet long. 



Nineteen varieties were tried. The first sowing was made on May 16, and the 

 second on May 30. The seed was sown in drills eighteen inches apart, and all were 

 pulled on October 12.
