CARROTS TABLE VARIETIES 
There is a great variation in the strains of Carrot Seed offered and it will pay you to buy stocks 
that are true to type in shape and color. Our trial ground tests showed our stocks to run remark¬ 
ably even, roots being smooth and of rich color. Carrots are so easy to grow, may be used in so 
many ways, and keep so well in the cellar during the winter that every home garden should have 
at least a few rows. 
CULTURE. It is best to sow as early in the spring as the ground is fit to work, though good 
crops may be grown from sowing as late as June 15th. Prepare the ground thoroughly and sow in 
drills 12 to 24 inches apart, using from 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. It is necessary to sow Carrots 
quite thickly. Sowing a few quick germinating seeds with the Carrot, as Lettuce or Radish, is a 
help in cultivating the rows. 
Cover % to % inch deep and firm the soil well around the seeds. Keep the weeds back and thin 
the plants later to 3 or 4 inches apart. On heavy and hard soils, plant the shorter and earlier va¬ 
rieties for satisfactory results. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long, 4 to 5 lbs. per acre.
