a CARROT. 
Culture. Sow from April to June in drills one foot 
apart, covering the seed half an inch. Thin out the 
plants from 3 to 5 inches apart, according to the va-

plants are easily ruined by weeds or neglect, and 
drought is to be especially avoided. One ounce of 
seed is sufficient for 100 feet of drill; 4 lbs. for an acre.
