Hastings’ Selected Carrot Seed 
^Ul TIJDC Carrots deserve a more general cultivation in the South tlian they now have. 
The young, tender roots are excelient stewed or boiled, either alone or with 
meat, as well as for seasoning and flavoring soups. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row ; 
about 3 pounds per acre. Sow seed in shallow drills in early spring when leaves are starting 
out. Make suceession sowings about a month apart to give a continuous supply. When plants 
are well started, thin out to four inches apart in the row. Sow in rich or well fertilized soil 
worked deep. Most varieties of carrot are deep rooted. Soil should be prepared sufficiently 
deep so that the roots can penetrate without difficulty. Work often, keeping the ground free 
from weeds and grass; make drills 16 to 18 inches apart for easy working. In Florida sow 
.seed September to November. Ready to use in about 80 days.

True Southern or Georgia Collard 
Large White Belgian 
Carrot (No. 70) 
For Stock Feed Only 
The South is just beginning to ap- 
preciate the value of root crops for 
stock. Of these the Belgian carrot is 
an immense cropper, having produced 
as high as 20 tons of roots per acre. In 
the Central South they are easily kept 
for winter feed by banking like sweet 
potatoes. In the Lower South they can 
be left in the ground all winter and 
pulled as needed. Belgian carrots fed 
with dry feed keep animals in good 
condition and in milk or dairy cattle 
the flow of milk is largely increased. 
Sow in rows 3 feet apart, using 4 to 5 
pounds of seed per acre. When well up 
thin the plants to 6 inches apart. Plant 
on land that has previously been cul- 
tivated and worked deeply. Packet, 5 
cents; ounce, 10 cents; ^ pound, 25 
cents; pound, 75 cents.

Southern State and is a species of cabbage not only hardy, but a vigorous and 
continuous grower, producing a mass of leaves and later a fairly good head. Not in its best condi- 
tion until touched by frost. Seed can be sown here from early spring up to August 1st. When plants 
are 6 inches high transplant to open ground, setting 2 feet apart in the row. Cultivate like cabbage. 
Sow one ounce of seed to 200 feet of row.

far north as Atlanta. Packet, 5e; ounce, 15c; % pound, 50c; pound, $1.50; postpaid.
