EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS. 



Neither of the seedings germinated until about the end of June, and in conse- 

 quence the season of growth was not sufficiently long to produce a heavy crop, although 

 the yield was much higher than was at one time thought possible. 



All varieties of field roots were sown by drill on the flat, on clay loam soil. Twenty 

 varieties of carrots were tested. The sowings were made in each case, the first on May 

 22, the second on May 29, and all were pulled on October 1.
