CARROT Zanahoria, Sf. Mohre, Ger. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. CULTURE âOne 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, , 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 for 2 weeks. F'or a winter supply, sow the larger growing, 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 tifne 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. Dreer's Perfect Forcing. Easily one of the most popular of the early carrots, equally useful for the outdoor garden as well as growing under glass. It is a fine, half long variety of most symmetrical shape, uniform size, and has a remarkably small top. Of attractive bright scarlet color, crisp, and with a singularly small core, so small in fact that in the young product it is hardly noticeable. It is not particular as to soil and yields splendid crops under ordinary home garden conditions. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 15 cts.; ozâ 25 cts.; \ lb., 70 cts.; lb., $ Sutton's Red Intermediate.
