The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy loam, richly tilled. For early crops sow in spring as soon as the ground is in good working order ; for later crops 

 they may be sown any time until the middle of June. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, thinning out to three or four 



inches between the plants. In field culture, when grown for horses or cattle, the rows should be two feet apart, so that /brmru ror> 



the crop can be worked by the Horse Cultivator. As carrot seed is slow to germinate, all precautions must be taken. F n t ^ ^ n ' RC I M'n ' l

deep orange red ; in size between the Half Long and Long Orange 



varieties. They are smooth and straight, and free from rough- 

 ness. The tops are small, considering the size of the roots.

1 oz. of Carrot 

 Seed will sow 

 a row about 

 100 feet long. 

 4 lbs. will sow 

 an acre. 



LONG ORANGE IMPROVED. One of the most desirable for 

 either garden or field culture. It grows to a large size, fair 

 specimens averaging twelve inches in length, and three inches 

 diameter at the top. All who have cattle should raise a surplus 

 of this carrot for feeding milch cows during winter. It in- 

 creases the flow of milk and imparts to the butter a delicious 

 flavor and a rich golden color. {See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. 

 34 lb., 80c. lb. 



DANVERS. (Half Long.) A handsome cylindrical-shaped Carrot 

 of good size and stump-rooted. It is of a rich dark orange color, 

 grows to a large size, is smooth and the flesh very close in 

 texture, with little core. It is a first-class carrot for all soils, and 

 it is claimed that under good cultivation it will yield the 

 greatest weight per acre with the smallest length of root of any 

 now grown. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., $1.00 lb. 



OXHE ART OR GUERANDE. A French variety of recent intro- 

 duction and a decided acquisition. It is intermediate between 

 Half Long and Horn varieties and perfectly distinct. The 

 shape is nearly oval and the color and quality all that can be 

 desired. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., $1.00 lb. 



EARLY FRENCH FORCING. The earliest variety and one 

 largely grown for forcing purposes. It makes a small, almost 

 globe-shaped root of an orange-red color. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 40c. 34 lb., $1.25 lb. 



EARLY SCARLET HORN. Favorite for early crop, but not 

 large. Sold largely in New York markets bunched. It matures 

 eight to ten days earlier than the Long Orange, and is some- 

 times used for forcing. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34^ D, > 

 Sl.OO lb. 



EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET CARENTAN. The skin 

 is smooth, flesh red, and without any core or heart. It is ex- 

 cellent for forcing, and for fine quality and perfect shape can 

 hardly be surpassed. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 ib., $1.00 lb. 



HALF LONG RED. (Stump-rooted.) In size and time of 

 maturity it is between the Early Scarlet Horn and the Long 

 Orange. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 90c. lb. 



EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET. (Pointed-rooted.) Differ- 

 ing from the preceding variety only in having a pointed instead 

 of a stump or blunted root. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 90c. lb.
