CARROT. 



Mohren, Ger. Carotte, Fr. Zanahoria, Sp. 



One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill; three to four pounds for one acre. 



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 one foot apart, thinning out to 4 inches in the row ; sow for main crop in June and July. The 

 lar<*e late varieties for field culture should be sown in drills 3 to Z\ feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. An important point in 

 sowing Carrot, as in all other seeds, is to tread the rows firmly after sowing.
