planting should not be done until the 
ground has become dry and warm.

CARROT 
Planting stocks are developed at 
our Breeding Stations from individ- 
ual progenies which have met the 
most exacting specifications in per- 
formance.. Smoothness and shape- 
liness of roots with depth of exterior 
and interior color are vital factors in 
rating parent lines.

In giving the number of days for 
the development of roots, we have 
used the average of readings for a 
period of years. These will vary 
considerably in different locations. 
Carrots prefer deep, loose, fertile 
soil, but will thrive in good, well- 
worked garden soil. In April, as 
soon as the ground is warm and fit 
to work, sow the seed for the first 
crop, and make successive sowings 
until August 1, the last being for fall 
and winter use.
