One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill ; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. 



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

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

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

 rooted varieties. The rows for these may be 16 to IQ 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.t 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 

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



NOTE. — Owins to the extreme Jrought of last summer, both in Amer- 

 ca and Europe, the crops of Carrot seed were almost a failure, and, as 

 < consequence, seed is scarce and higher in price. We advise early pur- 

 chase of all seeds this spring, before the supply is exhausted.
