Carrots 
1 oz. to 150 feet of drill; 4 pounds 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. 
GULTURE.—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.
