Carrots. 
Er. Carotte. Gei. Mohre. 
For early table use sow as soon as the land is in good 
working condition, in rows 15 inches apart. Early French 
Short Horn is the best variety for this purpose, though 
Harris’ Half Long is nearly as early and far more pro¬ 
ductive. 
In the field, for stock or market, Carrots can be sown as 
late as the middle of June. The advantage of late sowing 
is that it gives an opportunity for starting and killing mil¬ 
lions of weeds before sowing the Carrot seed. Good land 
and fine tilth are necessary. Mucky land often produces 
a great crop of Carrots. Clean, well manured, sandy soil 
is equally good and the Carrots are of better quality. For 
shallow soils, the best variety is Harris’ Early Half Long, 
and in fact we think it is the best for all soils. 
We raise this variety on a large scale with little labor. 
Until last year we drilled the seed on the flat, in rows 21 
inches apart, sowing about four pounds of seed per acre. 
Last year we ridged the land and sowed the seed on the 
ridge with a Canadian drill that sows two rows at once^ 
Use the horse hoe frequently between the rows, and thin 
out the plants with narrow hoes, into bunches six inches 
apart, leaving one to three plants in a bunch. Keep out 
the weeds and that is all that is necessary till harvest. 
We cut the leaves off with a mowing machine, and if any 
escape, trim them off with a hook or sharp hoe. Then, 
lift out the Carrots by running a plow without a mould 
board, under the rows, or plow them up with an ordi¬ 
nary plow. We keep them in pits during the winter, being 
careful to mix dry earth with them 
and cover with a foot of dry straw 
and then six inches of dirt; and just 
before winter sets in cover with a sec¬ 
ond coat of straw and a final covering 
of earth.
