CARROTS 
This delicious and nutritious vegetable is not appreciated as 
it should be. Properly cooked, it is a great delicacy. Its feed- 
ing qualities for stock are excellent. A sandy soil is best, but 
any good rich soil will produce good crops. Sow in early 
spring in rows 15 to 18 inches apart and thin to 3 or 4 inches, 
according to size of variety. Cover the seed only half inch 
and give careful cultivation throughout the season. They may 
be eaten either when a half inch or so in diameter or when 
fully grown.

summer crop. There are two good seasons for sowing cauli- — 
for spring sow in September and October. Transplant the — 
plants when they are about six weeks old, and always keep — 
them in a thriving condition. If large or old plants are used

prematurely and others will go to seed. a
