Mohre, GeR. Oirotte, Fr. Zonahoria, Sp. 



One ounce will sow lOO feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for one acre. 



CULTURE. — Carrots, to grow in perfection, require a rich, deep, sandy loam, well pulverized and deeply cultivated. For an 

 early crop sow in May and June in drills about 1 foot apart, thinning out to 4 inches in the row ; sow for main crop in June and 

 July. The large late varieties for field culture should be sown in drills 3 to 'i\ feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. An impor- 

 tant point in sowing Carrots, as in all other seeds, is to tread the row firmly after sowing. Varieties marked "*" are the best 

 varieties for stock feeding.
