HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CARROT 



Mohren, Ger. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for acre. 



My stock of Carrots is the very best ; far superior to the cheap California 

 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 V2 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. 



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.
