CARROT. 



German, Moehre. French, Carotte. 



For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be light (sandy 



soil is best) and deeply tilled. For an early crop the seed should be sown as 



early as the. ground can be. .properly worked. For later crops it may be sown 



any time until about the middle of June. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart. 



The seed can be best sown .by mixing it in moist sand. Keep down weeds. 



Thin out young plants as soon as they can be handled, leaving them about 4 



inches apart. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre in drills. 



OUR CARROT SEED is all grown from carefully 

 selected roots, of Uniform Size and Shape. 



Milwaukee Market — In shape, color and 

 general appearance this sort is an im- 

 provement on the well-known Danvers. 

 In color it is an attractive bright or- 

 ange, while the flesh is tender and 

 sweet clear through, and is almost en- 

 tirely free from core. It is one of the 

 heaviest croppers -we know of, and from 

 its handsome appearance will make an 

 excellent bunching Carrot for market.
