CARROTS 

Wonderful Yielder—25 tons per acre not un- 
common. The value of a root crop such as Car- 
rots is appreciated and used extensively by 
large stock raisers. Field Carrots are of high 
nutritive value; also a great tonic, keeping the 
stock in good condition. Horses are especially 
fond of them and in a good many stables, 
horses are fed carrots once a day. The wise 
dairyman knows the value of carrots for cows, 
as they will not only increase the flow of milk 
and improve the quality, but will give a rich, 
golden color to the butter. Sow seed thinly in 
drills 3 feet apart using two pounds to the 
acre. To get the heaviest crops, fertilize well 
with barnyard manure or commercial ferti- 
lizer. Shumway’s Blue Ribbon Stock Carrot is 
White Belgian 
307 Improved Long White Bel- 
gian. A standard sort of fine 
quality. My strain of this va- 
riety forms its roots entirely 
under ground. The roots will 
average 2 inches in diameter 
at the shoulder and a foot or 
more in length. The diameter 
is almost even throughout the 
entire length, the roots taper- 
ing gradually toward the base. 
Flesh and skin pure white, 
tinged with green on the up- 
per portion. A good yielder 
of excellent quality. Pkt., 10
