in April or May in drills a foot apart and thin to 2 inches. For main crop, sow in May or June, or for succession even m July, 
TJr PAT? HTTP using the longer rooted varieties. The rows for these may be 16 to 20 inches apart, and the plants thinned to 2, 3 or even 4 
ri. v_iix^v/i inches. To raise Carrots for stock, the rows may be made wide enough apart, say 2 to 2H feet, to allow of cultivation by horse-

with the roller of the garden drill. Use nothing but well-decayed manure, applied the previous autumn. For exhibition, by making holes a foot deep with a crow- 
bar 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.

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 round, 
blunt base, therefore is easily harvested. The flesh, entirely free

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