 Four to five pounds will sow an acre. 

 The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy loam, richly tilled. For early crops sow in the spring as soon as the giround 

 is in good working order. For later crops they may be sown any time until the middle of June. Sow iu rows fifteen inches i apart 

 thinning out to three or four inches between the plants. In field culture, when grown for horses or 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.

 variety for fattening stock. The roots are surprisingly mam- 

 moth in size and the productiveness is amazingly enormous, often 

 yielding fifty tons and over per acre. 1 1 is the greatest stock variety 

 and is highly recommended by experimental stations and agri- 

 cultu;-:?l colleges for fattening all kinds of stock and exception- 

 ally desirable for its great milk producing qualities. Do not fail 

 to order at least a small quantity of the seed and after you have 

 tried it you will increase your plantings. My stock is of superior 

 quality and will give you the very best of satisfaction. Pkt. 3c, 

 oz. 5c, % lb. 15c. lb. 25c, lb. 40c, 5 lbs. or only $1.75 prepaid. 



Please bear in mind that all experimental investigations and other tests have placed Carrots among the leaders as a desirable food 

 for stock. Dairymen prize them very highly for their great fattening qualities and increasing the supply of milk to a wonderful 

 degree. There is no better food in winter for horses and other stock than Carrots cut small, then sprinkled with salt and 

 fed with meal. Do not fail to take advantage of the exceedingly low prices which I have placed on this seed for it will pay you a 

 hundredfold for time spent in caring for same. You cannot fail to have a good crop bv planting My Superior Western Grown 

 Carrot Seed.
