CULTURE. — Root crops are highly valnahle and worthy of more 
general cultivation in the United States. The feeding value of roots 
is directly proportional to the dry matter content. This dry matter, 
ponnd for pound, is equal to any grain ; when fed to cattle is more 
eagerly eaten and more digestihle. This dry matter runs from 10 
to 14 per cent of total weight. Thus a low yield of 20 tons would 
give over 2 tons of dry matter, equal to 65 bushels of com. A sup- 
plementary ration of cereal is good. 
1 lb. Carrot seed, for $1.00, will 
sow one-half acre, sufacient to pro- 
duce, on good soil, 12 tons of car- 
rots, equal in feeding value for 
horses or cattle to 150 bushels of 
oats. 
CONDON'S PRIZE 
WINNER STOCK 
A BIG MONEY MAKER 
This is the heaviest cropping carrot 
grown, yielding more tons lo the acre 
than any other sort. The flesh is 
white, solid, crisp and very sweet; the 
roots are short and very heavy at the 
shoulder, which allows them to be 
harvested very easily. They do not 
break easily in pulling or storing, 
owing to their solidity and shape. 
This is not a carrot for gardeners, but 
is for farmers and cattle men. The 
roots frequently measure 12 to 25 
inches in circumference, and 15 to 25 
tons is not an uncommon yield. A 
few of these carrots should be grown 
by everyone, even if they only have 
one cow. Packet, 5c; ounce, 12c; 
14 pound, 35c; pound, 65c; pound, 
$1.10, postpaid.
