HIGH QUALITY SEEDS.

CARROT 



MOHREN, Grer. 



One ounce wili sow lOO feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for acre. 



My stock of carrots is the very best; far superior to the cheap Cali- 

 fornia seed, which produces large tops and rougher roots than my 

 selected French-grown seed. Market gardeners particularly desiring 

 roots of even form and color for bunching will be well pleased with 

 the stocks grown from my seed. 



CULTURE.— Carrots do best in a light, rich, loamy, deeply worked 

 soil. Sow in drills 12 inches apart and ^/^-inch deep, and afterwards 

 thin out to 3 to 6 inches apart. Fertilize liberally with well-rotted 

 stable manure and a rapidly available potash fertilizer. The 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. To 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 8 inches of earth to keep out the frost.
