CULTURE—While a sandy loam is the best 6oil for the Carrot, any good land, if thoroughly and deeply 
worked, will produce satisfactory crops. When possible to do so, it is advisable to sow as early in the spring 
as the ground is fit to work. For field culture prepare the ground thoroughly and sow in drills 18 to 
20 inches apart, using 2 to 3 lbs. of seed to the acre. Cover % to 1 inch deep and 6ee to it that the 
soil is pressed firmly above the seed. Thin the smal lcr table sort to 5 or 8 plants to the foot and the 
field varieties 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. 1 02. to 100 ft. row. 4 or 5 lbs. per acre. 
Imperator Carrots (new) (65 days). A new 
variety with exception of merit, as it fills the 
great demand for a long carrot of good quality. 
Roots 8 to 10 inches long, tapering to a blunt end;

standing carrot for home gardeners, truckers and 
shippers. This is by far the most attractive car¬ 
rot sold on our market last season as it is uni¬
