CARROTS. 



CULTURE. — Requires a sandy loam, well manured the previous year, and deeply 

 spaded up. Should be sown in drills ten to twelve inches apart, so , the plants can be 

 worked after they are up. Gardeners here generally sow broadcast, and often the 

 roots are small from being crowded too much together. This is a deep rooted crop and 

 ground should be well broken and the soil prepared deep enough to allow the plants to 

 penetrate. One ounce to 250 feet of drill; 2 1 / 4 pounds per acre. Matures in 75 to 100 days
