HALF LONG DAXYEBS CABROT. 



CARHOT. 



German, Mohre. — French, Carotte. — Spanish, Zanahoria. 



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

 soon as the ground is in good working order ; for later crops they may be sown any time until the middle 

 of June. Sow in rows about fifteen inches 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 ba 

 worked by the Horse Cultivator. As carrot seed is slow to germinate, all precautions must be taken.
