Carrots 
Carrots thrive best in warm, light soil, enriched with well rotted 
manure. Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be_ prepared, 
in drills 15 inches apart; cover the seeds about one-half inch deep, 
and thin to from 3 to 6 inches in the row. In field culture when grown 
for horses and cattle, the rows should be two feet apart, so that the 
crop can be worked with horse and cultivator.

i:.ariy v^ureiess variety is the entire absence

delicate flavor, is called the sweetest of all Carrots by 
all who have tasted same. Matures about two weeks

ductive. Measures 6 to 7 inches in length. Pkt. 10c,
