German — Moehren. French — Carotte. 
Swedish — Morotter. Spanish — Zanahoria. 
The Carrot is one of the most nutritious 
and healthful of roots and ought to be 
more generally used for the table as well 
as for stock feeding purposes. We ask 
our readers to give them a trial. Any good, 
rich garden soil that is deeply worked will 
CULTURE. — When it is possible to do so, 
it is advisable to sow as early in the spring as the ground is 
fit to work, though good crops may, in this latitude, be grown 
from sowings as late as June 1st, but one is- less certain of 
good crops from such late planting. Prepare the ground 
thoroughly and sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart, using from 
1 and iy 2 to 3 pounds to the acre, according to the distance be- 
tween rows. Cover % to 1 inch deep, and see to it that the 
soil is well firmed above the seed. As soon as the plants ap- 
pear, use the cultivator or wheel hoe and do not let the weeds 
get a start. Thin to 3 to 6 inches apart in the row as soon 
a,s the plants are large enough. For winter use gather and 
store, like beets or turnips. 
CHAJfTENAY — (See cut.) For table usejthis is considered 
particularly desirable. The carrots have attained such a uni- 
formity that they are almost duplicates of each other. The 
tops are of medium size, necks small, roots tapering slightly 
but uniformly, stump rooted. The color is orange red, the 
flesh very crisp, tender and sweet. Our customers cannot 
make a mistake by giving this variety a trial. Pkt. 5c, oz. 
10c, % lb. 25c, lb. 75c. 
At prices quoted on Carrot seed we 
send by mail postpaid. If wanted by 
express or freight, deduct 10 cents 
per pound. By express or freight al- 
ways means purchaser pays trans- 
portation charges. 
One ounce will sow a drill 100 feet 
long.

The Best Stock Feeding Carrots. 
Sow from 3 to 4 pounds to acre. Excellent feed for stock and extensively grown for this purpose. 
Horses relish and fatten on them and keep in healthier condition. 
One of the largest raisers of thoroughbred stock in the West says: "I consider Carrots indis- 
pensable, and no one who raises cattle can afford to be without them." 
CULTURE — For field culture, seed should be sown in drills 3 to 3% feet apart, so as to cultivate 
by horses. They succeed best in a good light soil, well enriched by manure. The seed should be eov- 
ered^about one inch deep, and be sure and see that the soil is well firmed above the seed.

MASTODON — A vast improvement on the White and Yellow Belgian sorts, which have been fa- 
vorites in the past, as it is not only much more productive but vastly easier to handle. The flesh is 
white, crisp, solid and very sweet in flavor. The roots are short and very heavy at the shoulder, 
making them easy to harvest. Too much can scarcely be said of their size and productiveness. The 
roots frequently measure 15 to 20 inches, yielding from 20 to 25 tons to the acre. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, %
