Cannot (. Daucas carota). 
Requires a deep rich sandy soil, with a fair amount of phosphate food to grow them to perfection. The soil should be thoroughly 
trenched and should have 3 ozs. of Clibrans’ Phosphate Manure applied to the square yard the previous autumn. With very light 
soils the addition of 1 oz. of Clibrans’ Potash Manure will also be advisable. For the main crop the seed should be sown in March, 
in rows 18 inches apart, and the plants should subsequently be thinned out to from 4 to 7 inches apart. For early use the 
French Horn may be sown on a hot bed in January or February.

Mr. G. B. Warburton, Glenlogan, Battleford, Sask, Canada, writes I received seeds safely and in good order. 
I was very pleased with results of seeds my father had from you last year, considering it was a late spring they did 
exceedingly well.”
