CARROT. 



Ger. Mohren. Fr. Carrotte. 

 One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. 



The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a 

 sandy loam, richly tilled. For early crop sow in 

 spring, as soon as the ground is in good working 

 order; for later crops they may be sown any time 

 until the middle of June. Sow in rows about fifteen 

 inches apart, thinning out to three or four inches 

 between the plants. In field culture, when grown 

 for horses and cattle, the rows should be two feet 

 apart, so that the crop can be worked by the horse 

 cultivator. As Carrot seed is slow to germinate, all 

 precautions must be taken. It takes from two to 

 three pounds to sow an acre. ,

 spring use. The crown or center of the head cut oflf 

 so as to include the leaves is the eatable part. They 

 are more hardy than cabbage, and are improved by 

 frost, but the time and manner of sowing and the cul- 

 ture are identical with cabbage.
