CARROT 
— Fr. CAROTTE 
CULTURE — Use nothing but well-decayed manure, applied the previous autumn, when the ground should have 
been deeply dug. Sow early in drills about i 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, pointed, 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 pounds will sow an acre.

CAROTTE CHANTENAY 
IMPROVED HALF LONG CHANTENAY 
This splendid carrot belongs to the half-long "stump" or blunt- 
rooted type, but differs from all others of this class by its greater 
girth, bulk and consequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in 
length, is broad at the neck, narrowing gradually to the roand, 
blunt base, therefore is easily harvested. The flesh, entirely free 
from core, is of rich, orange-red and of the finest table quality, 
fine-grained, tender, juicy, and delicately flavored. Lb. $2.00;

not succeed, and the compact growing leaves allow close planting.

and may be used while very small for soups, etc.

oz. 2Sc.; pkt. 5c.
