The Old Gardener on CARROTS 
Carrots are a triple-treat crop—you can freeze them, 
store them or can them, in addition to serving them 
fresh. All three methods will save the delicious carrot 
sweetness for winter eating. Better have plenty for 
eating fresh, too, especially the finger-size thinnings 
from the row. Commercial growers throw these away 
but they're the choicest morsels the garden produces. 
The new coreless types are best for eating fresh, can- 
ning or freezing. They have less fibre, 
taste sweeter.

cupied by earlier vegetables. 
Wong Boc—A short stout oval variety. 
Compact and well balanced. 85 days. 
CARROTS 
Use sandy loam enriched by manure 
the previous year, if possible; but 
any good land if deeply and well 
worked will produce a good crop. 
Sow seed as early as ground can be 
worked. Sow seed ” to 1” deep in 
drills 16” to 18’ apart. Press soil 
firmly above seed. When plants ap- 
pear use cultivator or wheel hoe and 
thin from 2” to 6” apart, according 
to type. Keep cultivated.

thick shoulder and tapers to slight 
stump root, 5-in. long. Red cored. 70

If you must store carrots in a cellar or 
outdoor barrel, you'll want something 
a little firmer, like Danvers Half Long. 
If your soil is stiff, stubborn clay, use 
Oxheart, which grows straight, while 
the longer kinds will ‘’dogleg” or cork- 
screw as they try to grow in clay. 
The carrots illustrated here, for compari- 
son of actual sizes, are: 1—Chantenay; 2— 
Imperator; 3—Danvers Half Long; 4—Red 
Cored Chantenay; 5—Oxheart.

widely used early variety. Medium, 
firm compact heads of fine flavor. 6-7

SWEET CORN 
Do not plant until all danger of frost 
is past. Be sure soil is well worked 
and dry—then drop 6 kernels of corn 
in a shallow hole made with the cor- 
ner of the hoe. Cover each “hill” 
with about 1” of fine soil pressed 
down firmly. When 6” high, thin to 
three or four plants in each hill.
