One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for one acre. 
CULTURE. Carrots, to grow in perfection, require a rich, deep, sandy loam, well pulverized and deeply cultivated. For an 
early crop sow in May and June in drills about 1 foot apart, thinning out to 4 inches in the row; sow for main crop in June and 
July. The large late varieties for field culture should be sown in 
drills 3 to 3$ feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. An impor- 
tant point in sowing Carrots, as in all other seeds, is to tread the 
row firmly after sowing. Varieties marked ‘*” are the best 
Va for stock feeding.
