ORANGE CARROT COMING INTO BLOOM. 
CARROTS 
Zanahoria Mohre Carrottc 
The carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots deserving to he 
more extensively used for culinary purposes and we urge our readers to give some of the early 
table sorts a trial. For feeding stock, especially horses and milch cows, the carrot cannot be sur¬ 
passed and it should be more largely grown by farmers for this purpose. Like other root crops 
nourishes best in a well-enriched sandy soil, deeply tilled, and if plowed the fall before all the 
better. Sow in early spring in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning plants to ’ 
inches. One ounce of seed will sow about 150 feet of row. Th"~~ ... -
