Early Scarlet Horn. Chantenay. CARROT. A light, sandy loam, well-tilled and manured the previous year, best suits the Carrot. For early crop, sow as early as the ground can be worked, in drills ten inches apart, and thin five inches in the rows. The French Horn, owing to its extreme earliness, is used for hot-bed culture. The late sorts, long and half-long varieties (main crop), sow from middle of May until first of July, in drills twelve to fourteen inches apart. Thin out to six and seven inches in a row. Keep the hoe at work. As Carrot seed is slow to germinate, all precautions must be taken. One ounce to 150 feet of row ; four pounds to the acre. THESE PRICES INCLUDE POSTAGE.
