Long Orange Carrot. 



CARROT. 



M OH REN, Ger. 



One ounce uillTsow 100 feet of drill ; o to 4 pounds for acre. 



My slock of carrots is the very best; far superior to the cheap California seed, 

 wliich i)roduces larpe 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.tlie stocks grown from my seed. 



Culture.— Carrots do best in a light, rich, loamy, deeply worked soil. Sow in 

 drills j'2 inches apart and 3^-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 

 )>e pitted out of doors and covered with a few inches of straw and 6 or 8 inches of 

 earth to keep out the frost.
