Kendel's Seed Half Long Scarlet Stump=Rooted Carrot. CARROT. Mohrruebe—{ Gelbe Ruebe.) Carrots are grown for feeding to stock, as well as for culinary purposes; there is usually a market demand for considerable quantities for cooking, many of the earlier sorts being sold in bunches wben about half grown. A rather light, sandy loam, deeply tilled, is best suited to the growth of carrots, and upon such soil, if it has been liberally fertilized the previous year, a good crop may be grown without much, if any,additional manure. Strong, fresh manure should never be used. Make tbe surface smooth, and sow in drills about fourteen iuches apart, and about half an inch deep, thinning the plants when large enough, so as to stand about three or four inches apart. April or May is the proper time to sow, varying the time according as an early or late crop is wanted. Good crops have been grown from sowings as late as the 10th of June. Early weeding is very important. Sowing a little radish seed with carrot, just enough to show the row, often saves a crop. PKT. OZ. LB. Early Scarlet Horn.
