DUPUY & FERGUSON, 38 JACQUES CARTIER SQUARE, MONTREAL 
.CARROT 
Carrots are one of our leading specialties, and have been for the 
last Sixteen Years. They are unsurpassed. 
1 ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. 4 lbs. for an acre. 
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 15. 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 tnrough the ground when sown thinly. 
Cover one-eighth to one-fourth inch deep and see to it that the soil is well firmed above the seed. Do not let the weeds 
«et a start. Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart in the row.
