OLDS’ CARROTS 
The carrot is one of the most valuable of vegetables and should be cul¬ 
tivated more extensively. They are very wholesome and contain the essen¬ 
tial vitamins.- Growing children should be fed carrots regularly. Our 
carrot seed is grown from carefully selected roots and will produce the 
kind of crop that you want. One pkt. will sow 50 feet of drill; 1 oz. 300 
feet, 2 to 3 pounds an acre. For large amounts see Market Gardeners’ Price 
List, page 39. 
CULTURE: Carrots will do well on practically any soil although they 
will do the best on loam. Sow the seed as early as possible in rows 18 to 
24 inches apart. Thin the seedlings to 2 or 3 inches apart in the row. The 
seed should be sown to a depth of about 4 times the diameter of the seed. 
Do not depend upon one planting only as they are at their best when young 
and tender. Plant every two or three weeks up to the middle of July.

STOCK CARROTS 
Carrots make excellent feed for live¬ 
stock. They may be substituted for 
grain or other concentrates to the ex¬ 
tent of replacing one-half of the dry 
matter. When thus used 8 to 10 
pounds of roots will replace 1 pound 
of concentrates. Roots can be pro- 
duced for from $4 to $5 per ton.
