 CULTURE— Carrots do I c-i 

 Sow in drills 12 inches apart and 

 inches apart. Fertilize liberally 



and rougher roots than my selected Frcnch- 

 pailicularly desiring roots of even form and 

 ascd with the stocks grown from my seed, 

 in a light, rich, loamy, deeply worked soil. 

 Vi; inch deep, and afterwards thin out to 3 to 6 

 with well-rotted stable manure and a rapidly 

 available potash fertilizer. 'JMie early varieties should be sown as early in the 

 spring as the ground can be worked, and the later sorts from the middle of 

 March until June. In dry weather soak the seed before sowing. 'J"o keep for 

 winter use for table, horses or cattle, pack the roots in moderately dry earth 

 or sand in the cellar; or they can be pitted out of doors and covered with a 

 few inches of straw and 6 or S inches of earth to keep out the frost. 



I have exercised the greatest possible care in selecting the best 

 varieties of Carrots, and the careful manner in which the seed has been 

 saved will insure my customers purity of strain and the most satisfactory 

 results from sowing my Carrot seed.
