Carrots 



1 oz. to ISO feet of arlll; 4 ponnds per acre 



Our stock is grown from choice selected and trans- 

 planted roots only, and are of the truest type and richest 

 color money can procure. 



CUIiT'O'SE. — Any good soil will grow this vegetable, 

 but the most perfect roots, however, are developed in 

 rich, friable, slightly alkaline soil, preferably sandy loam. 

 The flavor and tenderness of the table varieties is secured 

 by having a quick growth, which usually means good 

 growing weather and proper cultivation. Sow as early 

 as the ground can be worked or for late crop until the 

 latter part of July, in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, finally 

 thinning the plants to 2 to 3 Inches in the drills. The 

 seed is slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist 

 soil, half an inch is deep enough. "When sown during the 

 hot summer months it is well to protect the seed bed with 

 a thin layer of chips or straw as excessive heat will kill 

 the vitality of the seeds before they germinate. After 

 the seed has sprouted remove the covering, selecting the 

 late afternoon for this work. Carrots are usually quite 

 free from pests and diseases.
