Table Carrots 



Arrange for an ample supply of Carrots, as they are highly nutritioxis, 

 and if sowings are frequently made it is possible to maintain a supply 

 of roots the year round. 



Our Carrot seed has been grown from carefully r€-selected stocks, and 

 having harvested good crops we are in a position to quote the seed at 

 very moderate prices. 



Three ounces of seed to 100 yards; four pounds to the acre. 



Culture. Carrots, to grow to perfection, require a deep, rich, sandy loam, well 

 pulverized and deeply cultivated. For an early crop sow in May and June in 

 drills about 1 foot apart, thinning out to 4 inches in the row; sow for winter crop 

 in June and July. It is very important to tread the rows firmly after sowing 



seed.
