Carrots 
Our Carrot Seeds are All Selected and Can Be 
Depended Upon as They Have Been Tested. 
Culture: The carrot will do well in any good, well worked 
soil, but freshly manured soil often causes divided and irregu- 
lar roots. For early use sow the seed when the ground is fit 
to work, in rows 15 inches apart, and when 2 inches high, 
thin out so that the plants stand 2 inches apart in the row. 
For fall and winter use, sow the seed from the 1st to the 15th 
of June. The roots may be stored in cellar or pit, covered with 
dirt, where they will keep solid until late in the spring.

Carrots make a healthy and desirable food for horses, and 
every horse owner should plant them liberally, so as to give 
his horses an occasional feed of carrots through the winter. 
They are also very desirable for feeding to hogs and cattle 
and make a tonic and alterative food which is of decided 
benefit. Plant in March, April or May—the earlier the better 
—at the rate of 3 to 4 pounds per acre. Cultivate same as 
mangel beets. 
Mastodon. This abundant yielder is strictly a stock carrot
