CULTURE. Carrots delight in sandy loam deeply tilled. For early 
crops, sow in the spring as soon as the ground is in working order; for late 
crops, sow any time until the middle of June. Sow in rows and do not cover 
more than one-half inch deep. One ounce to 150 feet of drill; three pounds 
to the acre. 
The late crop should be dug in the autumn and stored the same as 
parsnips or turnips. The roots of carrots are used at all times of the year, 
mostly in soups, but they may be boiled and served with butter, or creamed.

Gentlemen: Please send me your seed catalog. I take Capper's 
Weekly Paper and I see your big ad in it. I used to deal with you 
soon after I came home from the war in 1865. I lived on Washington 
Creek, joining the Poor Farm. You were young in the business then. 
I want to do some trucking this season and also raise some feed. 
Yours respectfully, 
J. P. JOHNSON.
