Culture—Carrots require a deep, rich, light, 
friable soil, welbmanured. If the grpund is 
not in this condition it should be dug deep 
and well broken the year previous, being sure 
to well pulverize the soil as in all shallow or 
hard soils the roots fork or divide, injuring 
both their size and quality. For an early crop, 
sow the seeds early in the spring as soon as 
the soil can be prepared. Plant Yi an in. deep 
in rows, 1 to 2 ft. apart and thinning out seed' 
lings to stand 1 to 3 ins. apart in the row. 
Make repeated sowings every two weeks until 
the middle of June. Frequent stirring of the 
soil is very essential to the growth of the roots. 
Carrot is slow to germinate and should the 
surface of the soil become baked before the 
young plants appear, loosen it by gentle rak' 
ing. May to June is the period to sow for a 
main crop. In the Southern states they can 
be sown in the Fall and will continue growing 
all Winter. Use the late plantings for Winter 
storage. Cut off the tops to within an inch of 
the crown and pack the roots in dry earth or 
sand in the cellar or they may be pitted out of doors, covered 
with 2 ins. of straw and a foot of earth to keep them from 
frost. They can then be used until Spring.

70 Days—An ideal variety of superior quality 
for the home garden. Roots are 7 ins. long, 
very broad at the neck and 2 ins. through, 
with beautiful tapering form. The quality is 
most excellent, being very crisp, tender and 
of an extra fine flavor, free from any coarse- 
ness, even at maturity. 
HALF-LONG CHANTENAY 
72 Days—Market gardeners know this to be 
the perfect carrot and one of the most salable 
market varieties. An excellent, all-purpose 
sort earlier than the Danvers and a heavy 
cropper. Desirable for home and market gar¬ 
deners and shippers. Roots deep orange, 
smooth, 5 to 6 ins. long, 2J4 ins. thick, broad 
shoulders gradually tapering and stump-rooted 
at the lower end. Flesh deep orange with dis¬

rieties known by all. Very productive and used 
extensively by market gardeners, shippers and 
home gardeners. Roots bright deep orange, 6 
to 7 ins. long, 1^ ins. thick, broad shoulders 
tapering to a blunt point. Flesh bright orange, 
tender, rich in flavor and very sweet. 
BUIST’S SPECIAL DANVERS 
75 Days—A very select stock 
grown especially for the critical 
market gardener. The roots are 
very uniform in shape and size 
and not so apt to split in wet 
weather. The characteristics are 
the same as the Danvers, but the 
yield is greater.

terior color a rich red-orange throughout. A 
fine strain for the market gardener. Roots are

color as the flesh, fine grained, tender and 
sweet.
