Carrots Make Beautiful Edging Plants for Flower Beds 



CARROTS 



Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of row 



Culture. Carrots thrive best in a rather light, 

 rich loam. The ground should be well manured 

 with fine, well-rotted or composted manure, and 

 be thoroughly worked quite deep. Sow from 

 middle of April to middle of May, in rows 14 inches 

 apart, and thin the plants to 5 to 6 indies in the 

 row. For late crops, sow in June or July. An im- 

 portant point is to tread the rows firmly after sow- 

 ing. For field-culture. Carrots should be sown in 

 drills 3 to 3H feet apart, so as to allow, horse- 

 cultivation.
