g^fC.C MORSE & CO VEGETABLE SEEDS 
CARROTS 
FOR TABLE AND STOCK 
Good, sandy loam is best adapted for carrots 
of all varieties. The shorter varieties, how- 
ever, can be sown on heavier lands, with good 
results. For garden, sow the early and short 
varieties at any time after January 1st. For 
general crop sow in the open field about April 
1st, using two or three pounds per acre for rows 
to eighteen inches apart. While you 
get a good uniform root by thinning the young 
plants, it is not necessary to do so to get a crop 
of good, average carrots.
