CULTURE — Use nothTui? but well-decayed manure, applied the previous autumn, 
when the ground should have been deeply dug. Sow early in drills about 54 inch deep 
and 9 to 12 inches apart, thinning out from 2 to 3 inches for early Carrots. As they 
, , , become large enough to use. continue the thinning, until plants are 6 to 7 inches 
apart. In heavy clay, long varieties can be successfully grown for exhibition by making holes a foot deep with a crowbar or a piece of wood, 
pomted, and the holes filled up with a compost of rich earth and sand, and a few seeds sown on top. 
One ounce of seed will sow one hundred feet of drill and four lbs. will sow an acre.
