Currie's farm and garden annual : spring 1921 46th year curriesfarmgarde19curr_4 Year: 1921 ( LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1921. 15 CARROT OUR CARROT SEED is all grown from carefully selected roots, of I nifomi Size and Shape. Culture—For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be liEcht (sandy loam is best, enriched the previous year with manure) and deeply tilled. For an early crop the seed should be sown as early as the ground can be properly worked. For later crops it may be sown any time until about the middle of June. Be careful to compress the soil over the seed after sowing. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, or for field culture Wz to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about one-half to one inch deep. Keep down weeds. Thin out young plants as soon as they can be handled, leaving them about 4 inches apart. 1 to 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre in drills. Chantenay— The market gardener's and trucker's favorite. It is an early, very productive, half-long, stump-rooted variety, smooth-skinned, fine in ap- pearance and entirely coreless. The shoulder is un- usually thick and the root tapers slightly down towards the blunt point so that it is pulled very easily. The color, is a rich orange and the texture and Quality are unsurpassed. For table use many regard this variety—because of its form, color, tex- ture and delicate flavor—the finest of all sorts, and it is undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot for early market use. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 15c; 4 lb. 30c; 1 lb. $ Early French Forcing.
