MJM| CA D D f\ "T* Zdtiahoria, Sp. I\ IX IV KJ 1 Afoto-e, Ger. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. CULTURE —One of the few crops that will do well in all soils although a good deep, friable loam will produce the best looking roots. On light soils the color will not be as good as on richer, heavier soils containing more mineral elements. For an early supply, sow seeds of early sorts, like Dreer's Perfect Forcing, Oxheart, etc., as soon as the soil can be dug, placing rows 18 to 24 inches apart and thinning out seedlings to stand 2 to 3 inches apart in the row. Make repeated sowings every 2 weeks. For a winter supply, sow the larger grow- ing firm fleshed varieties like Danvers, Rubicon, etc., any time during May. These varieties require all season to reach full size for winter storage. For a fall supply of crisp, tender roots, sow Chantenay any time up to July 15th. The very much larger stock varieties should be thinned out to stand 6 to 8 inches apart in rows, 2| to 3 feet apart. Varieties marked with a star are the best for stock feeding. 246 Earliest Short Horn (French Forcing). One of the earliest. Roots are almost globular in shape, about 2 inches long and deep through, of reddish-orange color and excellent flavor. Equally good for forcing under glass and for early or late sowing outdoors. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ 50 cts.; lb., $ 244 Early Scarlet Horn. May be planted very early in spring, and is an excel- lent summer variety. Tops small and roots grow about Tj inches long; reddish- orange and good flavor. May be grown either in frames or in the open ground. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; } lb., 40 cts.; lb., $ 236 Guerande, or Oxheart. Good on soils too hard and stiff for longer-grow- ing so
