CARROT. 



Mohren, Ger. Garotte, Fr. Zanahona, Sp. ' 

 One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill ; three to four pounds for one acre. 



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 3o feet apart, so as to cultivate by horse. 

 An important point in sowing Carrots, as in all other seeds, is to tread the row firmly after sowing.
