CARROTS, 



James' Intermediate. 



Improved Long- Orangre. (91?i3f)reit,) 



Carrots succeed best on light, sandy loam, which, preferably, should 

 have been well fertilized the previous year, as fresh manures often cause the roots to grow pronged'and mis- 

 shapen. Sow the seed as early in spring as the ground can be prepared, firming the soil down over it. If sown 

 late it should be soaked in tepid water, then mixed with plaster or sifted coal-ashes, and sown upon freshl3' 

 prepared soil. Quick germination and rapid growth are necessary. An ounce of seed will sow loo feet of 

 drifl ; four pounds will sow an acre.
