CARROT 
German, Mohrubcn; French, Carrotte; Italian, Carota 
CULTURE—While a sandy loam, made rich by manuring the previous year, is the best soil for the Carrot, 
any good land, if thoroughly and deeply worked, will produce satisfactory crops. It is advisable to sow as 
early in the Spring as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may be grown from sowings as late as June 15. 
For table use, sow the smaller kinds early in rows 16 to 18 inches apart. For field culture, sow the drills 18 to 
ap « ar ^’ usmg from 114 to 3 pounds of seed to the acre. Cover H to 1 inch deep. One ounce of seed 
to 100 feet of row.

DANVERS —A half-long orange carrot, grown largely 
on account of its great productiveness and adaptability 
to all classes of soil. Tops of medium size. Roots of 
medium length, 6 to 8 inches long, tapering uniformly

Although the roots of this variety are comparatively

not thrive in it. Tops comparatively small. Roots 4 to 
5 inches long, very thick, ending abruptly in a small tap 
root. Flesh bright orange, fine-grained and sweet. 
When young the roots are excellent for table use, and
