Description

About this book

"Carrots, Mangold Wurtzels and Sugar Beets: How to Raise Them, How to Keep Them and How to Feed Them," by James J. H. Gregory, is an agricultural manual written in the early 20th century. This work should appeal to those seeking comprehensive, experience-backed instructions on root crop agriculture in temperate climates. The opening of the book sets a methodical, informative tone, beginning with arguments for the value of root crops as compared to hay, noting their high productivity and importance in good farming practices. Gregory then addresses carrots specifically: their nutritional content, disease resistance, benefits for various types of livestock, and uses both in family kitchens and on the farm.
