Buckbee's Champion Carrot 



The Enormous Yield of 



35 Tons to the Acre 

 A Veritable Carrot Prodigy 



Buckbee's Champion Stock Carrot is not. properly speaking, a table 

 Carrot, although the flesli i? remarkably firm and sweet. It i.s not a Carrot 

 for the market garden, but it is, most emphatically, a Stock Carrot for the 

 farmer and stock raiser, and once used, nothing will take its place. This 

 Carrot is the heaviest cropping Carrot grown, yielding more toni to the acre 

 than any other sort. The flesh is white, crisp, solid, and very sweet in fla- 

 vor. The roots are short and very heavy at the shoulder, rendering them 

 easilv harvested. An important feature, also, is that they do not easily 

 break in pulling or storing. The roots frequently measure 15 to 20 inches 

 in circumference, and 25 to 50 tons to the acre is not an extravagant state- 

 ment as to yield. Weight 10 to 25 pounds each. My Own Growth, Choic-

CULTURE 



Sandy loam ttiaiie ricli by manuring the previous year is best tor the Carrot, but any good land if deeply worked produces satisfactory 

 crops. When possible, sow as early in the Spring as the ground is fit to work. Sow iii drills 24 to 30 inches apart, two to three pounds to 

 the acre. Cover one-eight to one-fourth inch deep, and see that the soil is well firmed about the seed. As soon as plants appear use cultivator 

 or wheel hoe. and do not let the weeds get a start. Tliin from six to nine inches apart in the row as soon as plants are large enough. 

 Gather and store for Winter use like Beets or Turnips.
