GROWN FROM SELECTED ROOTS 
The carrot is one of the most valuable of vegetables and should be cultivated 
more extensively. It is very wholesome and contains the essential vitamins. Grow- 
ing children should be fed carrots regularly. Our carrot seed is grown from ecare- 
fully selected roots and will produce the kind of crop that you want. One pkt. 
will sow 50 feet of drill; 1 oz. 300 feet, 2 to 3 lbs. an acre, For large amounts 
see our Market Gardeners’ Price List opposite page 1. 
CULTURE: Carrots will do well on practically any soil although they will do 
the best on loam. Sow the seed as early as possible in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Thin the seedlings to 2 or 3 inches apart in the row. The seed should be sown to 
a depth of about four times the diameter of the seed. Do not depend upon one 
planting only as they are at their best when young and tender. Plant every two or 
three weeks up to the middle of July. Varieties % are recommended for freezing.
