Swing's I'^TuTturai Seeds 
While strongly advocating the growing of Corn and the Silo .system, 
it is a fact that many sections of the Dominion are better adapted for 
growing roots than Corn, and even where Corn can be successfully grown 
we advise the sowing of roots as well. Both are best. The sowing of 
the BEST QUALITY of seeds is of the utmost importance, but the Far- 
mer has to do his part also, and success with root crops need not be ex- 
pected unless the land be thoroughly and deeply cultivated, and from 
twenty to thirty loads of stable manure apphed the previous fall (or its 
equivalent in artificial manures) per acre. 
CARROT — FR. CAROTTE Field Varieties 
I When ordered by mail add 5c. per lb. and 2c. on j lbs. | 
Carrot seed, if sown when the soil is cold, germinates slowly, 
so that it is best to allow the warm spring weather to have set 
in before sowing. When sowing be careful to roll the drills, 
or in some way " firm " the soil roimd the seed. Four pounds 
of seed will sow an acre.
