Mohren, Ger. Carotte, Fr. ZonaJioria, Sp. 



One ounce will sow 100 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 3£ feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. An 

 important point in sowing Carrots, as 



other seeds, is to tread the row firmly 

 after sowing. Varieties marked " * " are 

 the best varieties for stock feeding.
