Oxheart or Guerande Carrot 
CUantenay Half-Long Carrot 
Oxheart or Guerande (No. 66) 
Carrots deserve a more general cultiva¬ 
tion 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 penetrate 
the soil without ditficulty. Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 
feet of row in shallow drills, 10 to 18 inches apart, in 
early spring when leaves are starting out. 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. Culti¬ 
vate fretiueutly; keep ground free from w^eeds and grass.

Large White Belgian Carrot (No. 10) SS‘“S.s'.i'iS 
FaaH Onlv One of the most valuable is the Belgian Carrot, an immense crop- 
r Will Jr per, h.aving produced as high as 20 tons of roots per acre. In the 
Central South they are easily kept for feed all through the winter, while in the Low’er 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 w'hen large crops are w’anted and that is that the crop 
must be fed with manure or commercial fertilizers in proportion. Sow in drills 3 feet apart, using 
4 pounds of seed per acre. When well up thin out the plants to C inches apart. They should be 
grown on land that has been previously cultivated and worked deeply. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 
cents; 14 pound, 25 cents; pound, 75c; postpaid. Ten-pound lots or over, not prepaid, 60c a pound.
