Cultivation. — Few subjects delight more in a free, open, 
sandy loam, of good depth. In preparing the ground for them it 
will be well to bastard trench it over, if possible, a few months 
beforo the seeds aro sown. Place good decomposed manure ten 
inches deep for all long and intermediate kinds, and four inches 
deep for Short Horns of whatever variety. Whilst the soil cannot 
well be too open, free, and rich, wherein the roots form and swell, 
it will be important to make it so by working it up, and manuring 
it the season previously, as if it be too rich, caused by the presence 
of actual manure, it will have a tendency to cause the produce to 
become forked, and as regards symmetry and real usefulness, of 
inferior merit. Sow always in drill rows and but moderately 
deep. To promote a vigorous youthful growth, and enable the 
young plants to grow freely, the drills may be drawn deep enough 
to enable a small quantity of well-rotted manure to be placed at 
their bottom and covered over with a little fine soil, into which 
the seeds are to be sown. They must be kept scrupulously clean 
by frequent hoeings. Sow Horn Carrot early in August and 
about the 4th of September for Winter and early Spring use, 
in rows about eight inches apart, drawing for thinning, so soon 
as large enough. Make the early Spring sowings of Short Horn 
upon a sunny aspect in March, and the main sowings about April 
10th. 
Daniels’ Telegraph Carrot is the best to grow for general 
crop for market or exhibition, and is becoming a general favourite 
with market gardeners. It has gained First Prizes many seasons 
wherever exhibited. Daniels’ Scarlet Perfection or Main Crop 
is a most useful kind for general use, as it attains a large size in a 
short space of time.
