Currie’s Carrots 
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 cul- 
ture 14% to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about % to 1 inch deep. Keep down weeds. 
Thin out young plants as soon as they can be han- 
dled, leaving them about 4 inches apart. 1 oz. 100 
feet of drill; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre in drills.
