223 Burpee’s Oxheart Carrot 
75 days. Splendid midseason carrot, which may be used while the roots 
are still small. If allowed to mature, the broad, stocky, heart-shaped 
carrots will measure 4 to 4% in. long and 3 to 3% in. across where they 
are thickest; this gives a large amount of edible flesh, which is light 
orange, tender, sweet and of delicious flavor. Because of their shape, 
they are easy to harvest and do well in shallow or heavy soils where 
longer carrots often fail to make attractive roots. Fine for home use and 
busheling rather than bunching. It is a good cropper and keeper.

How to Grow Carrots 
Sow seed thinly in early spring in rows not less 
than 12 in. apart and make additional sowings 
when the preceding planting is up and growing; 
allow plenty of time for the last sowing to ma- 
ture before frost. Cover the seed with % in. of 
fine soil. Thin the small early varieties to stand 
2 in. apart in the row and the larger, later varie- 
ties from 2 to 3in. A rich, mellow, deeply worked 
soil gives the finest carrots. The later sowings 
will produce nice, tender carrots in the fall; 
these are the best for winter storing. A pkt. will 
sow about 30 ft. of row; an oz. about 200 ft.
