Danvers Half-Long Carrot 
CARROT 
German,—Rhore French,—Carrotte 
Spanish,—Zanahoria 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds 
required for an acre 
Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil to 
grow them to perfection. A good, light and well- 
enriched sandy loam is the best for this crop. For 
field culture, sow in drills 2 y 2 feet apart, so as to 
cultivate by horse. Market gardeners sow in 
drills about 15 inches apart and cultivate by 
hand. For early crops cover y 2 inch deep, and 
thin to 6 inches apart in the rows; for late, cover 
% inch deep, and thin to 4 inches.

CELERY 
German,—Sellerie French,—Celeri Spanish,—Apio 
One ounce will produce 3,000 plants 
Sow seed the first or second week in April in hotbed 
or cold frame. As soon as the plants have attained a 
height of three inches transplant, setting them four 
inches apart. As fall approaches draw earth up to 
the plants, keeping the stalks well together. When 
well blanched it is ready for use. Some of the varie¬ 
ties, such as Golden Self-Blanching and White Plume, 
may be blanched by simply placing a board 12 to 15 
inches wide on edge on each side of the row.

banking to blanch the stalks. Simply earthing up 
enough to keep the stalks together or by passing a 
string around each plant is sufficient. Pkt., .10; oz., .50
