Culture: Sow seed early in the spring in rows 12 to 30 in. apart. 
Cover seed with % to 1 in. of soil and press gently. Thin plants 
to stand 2 to 6 in. apart. For a continuous supply, sowings 
should be made every two weeks up to the early part of July. 
For nice, tender carrots in the fall or for winter storing, the later 
sowings are advisable. Use a packet of seed to 25 ft. of row; 
1.0z. to 100 ft.; 3 to 4 lbs. to the acre. 
152 DANVERS HALF-LONG %

yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre. Roots are half-long, almost 
cylindrical, and under ordinary culture grow 6 to 7 in. long and

Maule’s Table Carrots 
145 MAULE’S GOLDEN ROD & 
Half-long, stump-rooted carrot for home and market (75 days) 
Seven to 8 in. long, 2 to 2% in. thick at the shoulder; smooth and 
uniform, fine-grained, sweet, tender, and never becomes stringy or 
shows rings. Skin is bright orange; flesh is deep orange with a 
lighter colored, tender core. Highly recommended for home use 
and for market gardeners who wish a quality half-long stump- 
rooted carrot somewhat deeper in color than Danvers and heavier 
in yield. When Mr. Maule brought this carrot back with him 
from France in 1900, he performed a lasting service to American 
gardeners. There was an immediate public appreciation of the 
strain, and now the popularity of the variety has grown to be 
really tremendous. Each year’s sales exceed the previous record. 
If you are not already a Golden Rod grower, why not compare it 
with your favorite variety this year?
