Stock Carrots 
Carrots make excellent feed for livestock. They may 
be 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. Roots can be produced for from $4 
to $5 per ton.

The carrot is one of the most valuable of vegetables 
and should be cultivated more extensively. They are very 
wholesome and contain the essential 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. E'er 
large amounts see Market Gardeners’ Price List, opposite 
page 1. 
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 dejith 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. 
“I have planted L. L. Olds’ garden and fiower seeds for about twenty 
years. 1 scant no others. 1 also recommend them to others. 1 feel 1 can 
safely do so." Wm. Eckhardt, Illinois. 
“Your Scarlet Dozen Tomatoes are surely zeonderful. Ripe Tomatoes from 
seed sozen in the ground as far north as Florence County is unusual.”
