Hastings’ Selected Carrot Seed 
THESE PRICES INCLUDE PAYMENT OF POSTAGE 
Carrots deserve a more general cultivation In the South than they now have. The young, 
>JiHlure tender roots are excellent stewed or boiled, either alone or with meat, as well as for sea¬ 
soning and flavoring soups. 
Sow seed in shallow drills In early spring when trees are starting out. Make several sowings about 
a month apart so as lo give a succession crop. When plants are well started thin out to i Inches apart 
In the row. Sow In rich, well manured soil worked deep. This Is a deep-rooted crop and the soil 
should be prepared deep enough so that the roots can penetrate without difficulty. Cultivate frequent¬ 
ly, keeping your ground free from weeds and grass. Best make drills 16 to 18 Inches apart to allow 
easy working. In Florida sow seed in September, October and November.

by all over the South. It is welt 
adapted to every Southern State, and is a species of 
cabbage which is not only very hardy but a vigorous

and, later in the season, a fairly good head. It is not 
in Its best condition until touched by frost. Seed can

Large White Belgian Carrot—For Stock Feed Only 
The value of root crops for stock is just beginning to be appreciated in the South. One 
of our most valuable is the Belgian Carrot, an immense cropper, having 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 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 and dairy cattle the flow of milk is largely increased. One thing 
must be remembered when large crops are wanted, and that is the crop must be fed by ma¬ 
nure 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 6 Inches apart. They should be grown 
on land that has previously been cultivated and worked deeply. Give thorough cultiva¬ 
tion throughout the season. Packet, 5c; ounce, 10c; pound, 2uc; pound, 50c; postpaid.
