CARROTS 
Plant in a light, rich, deeply-worked soil as early as you can work the ground, in drills 
12 inches apart and (4 inch deep; press the soil firmly after planting and when well up, 
thin out to 3 or 4 inches apart in the row. For field culture, make the drills 18 to 24 inches 
apart; later plantings should be made in July and August for a late crop to store for 
winter. In dry weather soak the seeds before planting. To store for winter, pack in dry 
earth or sand in the cellar or put them outside on a well-drained situation, covering with 
a few inches of straw and 6 to 8 inches of earth to protect from frost. One ounce will 
plant 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre.

all soils. Its roots are smooth and longer than the Chantenay; the tops are medium size. The 
mature roots are 7 to 8 inches long, tapering uniformly to a blunt end. Its flesh is a deep, rich 
orange color, tender, sweet and crisp. It outyields any other variety.

table quality. Its length will average 5 Vi inches; its color is a rich, bright orange-red. The roots 
are the half-long type, smooth, free from side rootlets, and unusually uniform. The crisp, tender 
and fine flavor makes it even more desirable. Our stock has been finely bred and may be

107—LARGE WHITE BELGIAN CARROT, FOR STOCK FEED ONLY (90 to 100 days)—The value of root crops for stock is just 
beginning to be appreciated in the South. One of the most valuable is the Belgian Carrot, an immense cropper, having produced 
as high as 20 tons of roots per acre. In the Central South they are easily kept all through the winter, while in the Lower South 
they can be left in the ground all winter and pulled as needed. The use of carrots in connection with dry feed helps keep the 
animals in good condition and in milk or dairy cattle the flow of milk is largely increased. Sow in drills 3 feet apart, using 4 
pounds of seed per acre. When well up, thin out the plants to 6 inches apart. They should be grown on land that has been pre¬ 
viously cultivated and worked deeply. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 2 oz., 15c; 44 lb., 20c; lb., 65c; 2 lbs., $1.10 
CELERY 
CULTURE—Sow in beds in February or March and keep them well 
watered. Transplant to moist, mucky soil ; 6 inches apart in 12-inch 
rows. Barth up two or three times. Cover with straw from severe 
weather, with boards on top ; 1 ounce of seed produces 2,000 plants. 
121— IMPROVED WHITE PLUME (112 days)—A magnificent 
celery for early use, and being self-blanching, requires but little 
working. 
122— GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (118 days)—The best self¬ 
blanching sort, it acquires a handsome golden color without 
having to be hilled up. 
123— GIANT PASCAL (135 days)—In the South this is more 
generally grown than any other late celery. For fall and early 
winter it is certainly one of the best.
