HASTINGS'CARROT SEED 
PRICES INCLUDE PAYMENT OF POSTAGE 
Carrots deserve a more general cultiva- 
wUI&UrV? tjon in the South. The young, tender 
roots are excellent stewed or boiled, either alone or 
with meat, as well as for seasoning and for flavoring 
soups. Select rich or well manured soil worked deep, 
because this is a deep rooted crop and the soil should 
be prepared deep enough to allow the roots to pene¬ 
trate the soil without difficulty. Sow 1 ounce of seed to 
100 feet of row in shallow drills, 1(1 to 18 inches apart, in 
August and September. In Florida and along the Gulf 
Coast sow seed from September to December. Make 
several sowings about two weeks apart so you will have 
a succession crop. When plants are well started, thin 
out to four inches apart in the row. Cultivate frequent¬ 
ly, keeping the ground free from weeds and grass.

Large White Belgian Carrot(No. 70) ?egini^"| to be^appS/e" in°tt lirh‘ 
Foi* Stock Food Onlv most valuable is the Belgian Carrot, an immense crop 
rwi wiiiy ppp having produced as high as 20 tons of roots ner acre. In the 
Central South they are easily kept for feed all through the winter, while in the Lower South they 
can be left in the ground all winter and pulled as needed. The use of carrots in connection with dry 
feed helps keep the animals in good condition, and in milk or dairy cattle the flow of milk is largely 
increased. One thing must be remembered when large crops are wanted and that is that the crop 
must be fed with manure or commercial fertilizers in proportion. Sow in drills 3 feet apart, using i 
pounds of seed per acre. When well up thin out the plants to 6 inches apart. They should be grown 
on land that has been previously cultivated and worked deeply. Give thorough cultivation througli- 
out the season. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c; 44 lb.,. 25c; lb., 75e. Not prepaid, 10-lb. lots, 60c a pound. 
I For late summer and fall planting celery is strictly a crop for Florida and the 
lower Gulf Coast country, sections not ordinarily subject to extreme cold during the 
J winter. It is a most important commercial crop for Florida and there is no reason 
why it should not be just as largely and successfully grown in Southwest Texas as a market crop. 
Celery requires rich and moist soil. If not rich it can be made so by proper fertiliz- 
wui&uic j^g. jjj Florida and Gulf Const section sow seed in August and September in shaded 
beds, covering seed not over half-inch. W’hen 6 inches high transplant to open ground. Celery 
planted as above should be ready for market in following March and April. This crop frequently 
brings in as high as $1,500.00 per acre.
