Carrot 
CULTURE—For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be light (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 11 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 oz. 100 
feet of drill; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre in drills.
