DUPUY & FERGUSON'S SEED ANNUAL 
French Market Carrot (Coreless) 
CARROT 
I ounce will sow 1 00 feet of drill 
It Is best to sow early In the spring as the ground is fit to work, 
though good crops may be grown from sowings as late as June 15th. 
Prepare the ground thoroughly and sow in drills 12 to 18 Inches apart. 
It is necessary to sow Carrots quite thickly, on account of the young 
plants not having sufficient strength to come through the ground when 
sown thinly. Cover one-eight to one-fourth inch deep and see to it that 
the soil is well firmed about the seed. Do not let the weeds get a start. 
Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart in the row. 
New French Market (Coreless). — This beautiful 
new and distinct French carrot in form is more

throughout. A very heavy cropper and a great
