Tiic carrot is one of the most nxitritious and 
■^^•althful of roots and ought to be more generally 
used for the table as well as for stock feeding pur- 
Ijoses. Weask our readers to give them atrial. 
.Vny good, rich Harden soil that is deeply worked 
will raise carrots. 
CULTURE — When it is possible to do so, it is ad- 
visable to sow as early in the spring as the ground 
is fit to work, thotlgh good crops may, in this 
latitude, be grown from sowings as late as June 
1st, but one is less certain of good crops from such 
late planting. Prepare the ground thoroughly and 
sow in drills Is to 2-i- inches apart, using from 
1 and 1^ to 3 pounds to the acre, according to the 
distance "between rows. Cover % to 1 inch deep, 
and see to it that the soil is well firmed above the 
seed. As soon as the plants appear, nse tlie cul- 
tivator or wheel hoe and do not let the weeds get a

Lsoon as the plants are large enough. For winter use gather and store like beets or turnips. 
DANVERS HALF LONG-(See Cut.) A handsome half long, cylindrical 
shaped carrot of good size and stump rooted. It is of a rich, dark 
orange color, grows to a large size, is 'smooth, and the flesh very close 
in texture with little core. A first c- ass carrot for all soils, and is 
laimed that under good cultivation i will yield the greatest weight 
with the smallest lengtl. of root of any now grown.

as early as any, is a heavy cropper and 
is undoubtedly one of the best for both

TABLE QUEEN— (See Cut.) CHANTENAY OR HODEL STUiMP ROOT. 
Undoubtedly the finest carrot for general use that has ever been 
introduced. As will be seen by our illustration it is rather long, 
coming abruptly to a point and has almost no side shoots. In 
color it is a rich shade of orange and the flesh is solid, yellow and 
with no core. It is free from the coarse, rank flavor found in most 
of the varieties of its size. For home use we cannot too highly 
recommend it to our patrons, and we know that for amateurs It is 
unequaled by any other variety. We introduced this several years 
ago and each season convinces us that it is to become one of the 
leading varieties for private gardens. Pkt. loc, oz. iSC
