Curriers Carrots 



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

 loam is best, enriched the previous year with manure) 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. Be careful to compress 

 the soil over the seed after sowing. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, or for field cul- 

 ture 1% to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about % to 1 inch deep. Keep down weeds. 

 Thin out young plants as soon as they can be han- 

 dled, leaving them about 4 inches apart. 1 oz. 100 

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