market gardeners who chance to be located near large 

 cities, and yet on land that is not 

 too valuable. They require a very 

 finely pulverized and porous sandy 

 loam for their full development, 

 and for large crops. It is impor- 

 tant that the land should not be 

 too rich, as then the crop will run 

 too much to tops ; and still they 

 should not be placed on poor, light 

 soil with the expectation of a big 

 crop. Land that is in fairly good 

 condition, and has been manured 

 the year previous for some other 

 crop, is usually quite rich enough 

 for the growing of carrots. 

 When the short varieties (like Early Horn, Inter- 

 mediate, etc.) are raised for 

 bunching, they are usually put 

 in as a second crop with spring 

 spinach and radishes. They are 

 tied in bunches, four in a bunch, 

 like early beets; and usually 

 bring, on an average, four cents 

 per bunch. But there is only a 

 limited demand for them.
