♦ ♦ BUCKBEE'S SUPERIOR CARROT SEED ♦ ♦ 



Gei'man, Moehren; 



French, Carotte; Spanish, Zanahoria ; Swedish, Morot. One ounce of seed will sow a row 100 feet long. 

 Four to five pounds will sow an acre. 



CULTURE While a sandy loam, made rich by manuring the previous year, is the best soil for the carrot, any good land, if 

 iV»-«» thoroughly and deeply worked, produces satisfactory crops. Clover sod turned under deeply and well enriched 

 with a dressing of rotten manure, is most excellent for the general crop. When it is possible to do so, it is advisable to sow as early 

 in the spring as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may. in this latitude, be grown from sowings as late as June loth. Pr?pare 

 the ground thoroughly and sow in drills 12 to 34 inches apart, using from four to ifive pounds to the acre, according to the distance 

 between the rows. Cover one-half to one inch deep and see to it that the soil is well firmed about the seed. As soon as the plants ap- 

 pear use the cultivator or wheel hoe, and do not let the weeds get a start. Thin from three to six inches apart in the row as soon as 

 plants are large enough. Gather and store for winter use like beets or turnips. 

 BUCKBEE'S NEW SELECT D4NVERS— Best of all, an improvement obtained 

 by years of careful selection of the best formed and deepest colored roots of 

 the old favorite, Half Long Danvers. Flesh, svs'eet, crisp and tender. It is of 

 a rich, dark orange color, and all the roots are uniformly smooth and hand- 

 some. This variety, although tlie roots are shorter, produces asdarge a bulb 

 as the longer sorts and is much more easily harvested. I can heartily recom- 

 mend Buckbee's Danvers to you, either for a family, market or field variety.

 Orange. Roots proportionately shorter than the Long Orange and smoother, 

 but so uniform and true that the bulk of the crop will be greater. It is a good 

 keeper, of fine quality for table use, and highly meritorious for stock. Pkt.

 been grown which were over seven inches in diameter. They are broad, top-shaped, 

 the diameter ofteu exceeding the length, and terminate abruptly in a small tap root, 

 and by reason of their shape are very easily dug. Flesh bright orange, fine grained
