ON CARROTS. 269 



IF the ground is mallow the horn-carrot 

 is the only feed fit to fow ; they will go 

 down as far as the foil will permit, and 

 grow to a great thicknefs, fo that many 

 of them will weigh four or five pounds, 

 and even in fuch ground will be a very pro- 

 fitable crop. 



IF the ground is fandy and deep, the 

 large orange carrot is the beft kind. Al- 

 though it is a hungry, poor, fandy foil, if 

 it is ibwn early it will produce a good crop, 

 if it has been managed according to the 

 directions here given. 



IF the ground is a good, deep, fandy 

 loam, fuch as the foil is in general about 

 Pontefracl, in Yorkshire, they will grow 

 to an immenfe fize, and produce a crop 

 advantageous beyond imagination. 



IN fuch ground, if hoed to a proper dif- 

 tance, which mould not be lefs than ten 

 inches, and kept clear of weeds, they will 

 grow to be ten and twelve pounds weight.
