Carrots 
CULTURE—1 oz. for 100-foot row, 4 lbs. per acre, 
Carrots are very hardy and can be planted as soon as 
you stir up from 2 to 3 inches of top soil. Have the rows 
14 inches apart and thin to about 4 inches apart in the rows. 
Cover the seed half inch deep and tramp the ground firmly 
which insures quick germination. Cultivate frequently. 
Successive sowings can be made in our section up to July 
10th. Number of days indicates days from planting to bunch- 
ing size. 
: To get a crop of straight, smooth roots possessing sweet- 
ness and the well known peculiar carrot aroma sow in rich 
to fairly rich, deeply worked ground. Thin out the sowings on 
time. This is very important.

derness, sweetness and delicious flavor makes it a dish fit for

BEST CARROT 
Carrots differ in size, shape, earliness, keeping qualities, 
amount of tops, color and taste. 
Every variety of carrot we offer is high class. None has 
qualities that would answer all purposes. Therefore plant 
French Forcing if you want carrots ahead of all others in 
earliness and if willing to grow carrots under glass. If you 
want the earliest carrot for bunching with an appealing 
shape and good color you must grow Gold Coin, because that 
is the best variety for early sales. If you nt highest qual- 
ity and fair crop and a carrot that will keep over winter 
Nantes is what you want. If you want a carrot that will give 
you immense crop and will keep, properly stored, till spring 
Oxheart is the sort and if you want a large stump rooted 
carrot the kind that sells in any market, is good for growing 
on a large scale, South or North, you want Danvers or Chan- 
tenay. 
~ CARROT IMPERATOR (77 days)

tapering quite as much as Chantenay. They are of extra fine ap-

it seldom properly develops, it will not ripen up and for heavy soil 
Chantenay or Danvers are to be preferred.
