CARROT 



Culture — ^For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be ligiit (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 culture IVo to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about one-half to one 

 inch deep. Keep down weeds. Thin out young- plants as soon as they can be handled, leaving them about 4 inches apart. 



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

 stump-rooted variety, smooth-skinned, fine in appearance and entirely coreless. The shoulder is un-

 regard this variety — because of its form, color, texture and delicate flavor — the finest of all sorts, and 

 it is undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot for early market use. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 15c; Vi lb. 30c; lib $1.
