CARROT. 



|. Ger. Moliren. Fr. Carrotte. 



P 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 cul- 

 ture, 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.

DANVERS CARROT, 



BORECOLE, or Kale. 



Ger. Blatter-Kohl. Fr. Clnm Vert. 



The Kales are excellent as greens for winter 

 and spring use. The crown or center of the head 

 cut off 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 culture are identical with 

 cabbage.

This new and beautiful variety originated in 

 France, where it is fast becoming popular with 

 the gardeners. It is between the dwarf and 

 tall varieties, with yellowish green, finely 

 fringed leaves. It is the handsomest and most 

 ornamental variety we have ever seen and is 

 extremely hardy. Market gardeners, try it.

 This plant grows [two or three feet high and 

 produces from the sides of the stalk numerous 

 little sprouts, one or two inches in diameter, 

 resembling cabbages. The leaves should be 

 broken down in the fall, to give the little cab- 

 bages room to grow. They are very tender and 

 sweet after early frost. The small heads are 

 boiled and served in the manner of cabbages. 

 Sow in seed-bed in May. transplant and cultivate 

 like cabbage.
