CARROT 
CULTURE.—While a sandy loam, made rich by manuring 
the previous year, is the best soil for the Carrot, any good 
land, if thoroughly and deeply worked, will produce satis¬ 
factory crops. It is advisable to sow as early in the Spring 
as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may be 
grown from sowings as late as June 15. The table use, sow 
the smaller kinds early in rows 16 to 18 inches apart. For 
field culture, sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart, using from 
1to 3 pounds of seed to the acre. Cover 3^ to 1 inch deep. 
One ounce of seed to 100 feet of row.

DANVER S HALF LONG

great productiveness and adaptability to all classes of soil. 
Tops of medium size. Roots of medium length, 6 to 8 inches 
long, tapering uniformly to a blunt point. Flesh deep orange 
crisp and tender. Although the roots of this variety are com¬ 
paratively short, they produce as large a bulk as the longer 
field sorts and are more easily harvested. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 
]4 lb. 30c, lb. 85c, 5 lbs. $3.75.

small. Roots 4 to 5 inches long, very thick, ending abruptly

sweet. When young the roots are excellent for table use, and 
when matured are equally good for stock feeding. Pkt. 10c,
