CARROT Garotte, Fr. Zonahoria, Sp. 



One ounce will sow lOO i'eet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. 



CULTURE. — Carrots do best in warm, deep, rather light and fairly fertile soil that is well supplied with humus, or on strong 

 loam having been in clover and broken the year before. For earliest crop sow seed of the early short-rooted sorts in April or May, 

 in drills a foot apart and thin to 2 inches. For main crop, sow in May or June, or for succession even in July, using the longer- 

 rooted varieties. The rows for these may be 16 to 20 inches apart, and the plants thinned to 2, 3 or even 4 inches. To raise Carrots 

 for stock, the rows may be made wide enough apart, say 2 to 2£ feet, to allow of cultivation by horse power. In sowing Carrot or 

 other small seeds, especially during dry weather, pains should be taken to firm the soil well over the seed, either by means of the 

 feet, or with the roller of the garden drill. Varieties marked * are good for stock feeding. 



Sutton's Red Intermediate. (See cut. ) This variety of 

 Carrot is of English origin, and its handsome shape, rich red 

 color and fine quality appeal to all who plant it. The Carrots 

 grow to a desirable size, being between the half-long and long 

 varieties, and are very uniform. The shape is most desirable, 

 tapering to a decided point, and the quality is excellent, being 

 sweet and tender. Those who planted seed of this Carrot

NOTE. — Owing to the unseasonable weather conditions during the 

 past two seasons, both in America and Europe, the supply of Carrot

 We advise early purchase of all seeds this spring before the supply 

 is exhausted.
