Stock Carrots

substituted for grain or other concentrates to the extent of 
replacing one-half of the dry matter. When thus used 8 to 
10 pounds of roots will replace 1 pound of concentrates

OLDS 'CARROTS 
The carrot is one of the most valuable of vegetables 
and should be cultivated more extensively. They are 
j very wholesome and contain the essential vitamins. 
; Growing children should be fed carrots regularly. Our 
i carrot seed is grown from carefully selected roots and 
- will produce the kind of crop that you want. One pkt. 
1 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 35. 
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.
