The carrot is one of the most valuable of 
vegetables and should be cultivated more ex¬ 
tensively. They are very wholesome and contain 
the essential vitamins. Growing children should 
be fed carrots regularly. Oxir carrot seed is 
grown from carefully selected roots and will 
I)roduce the kind of crop that you want. One 
l)kt. will sow 50 feet of drill; 1 oz. 300 feet, 
2 to 3 pounds an acre. For large amounts see 
Market Gardeners’ Price List, opposite page 5. 
CULTURE: Carrots will do well on practical¬ 
ly 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 depth 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. 
Feed everything you grow with Vigoro, the 
complete plant food. See page 70.

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
