One ounce will sow one liimdred feet of tliill; 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 3J 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.
