R.B.BUCHANAN SEED CQ ^ MEMPHIS,TENNESSEE 
CARROTS 
Plant in a light, rich, deeply-worked soil as early as you can work the ground, in drills 
12 inches apart and Yz 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.
