Carrots and Caulif-lower— 



good food for young and old 



CARROT 



Carrots require about the same simple care as beets, they 

 have no serious insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked by 

 disease. Since freshly manured soil often causes divided roots, 

 it is best to plant them in soil that has been richly fertihzed 

 the previous season. Plant the seed one-half inch deep in loose, 

 well prepared soil, making rows 16 to 24 inches apart. Cultivate 

 as soon as the plants are well estabhshed and thiu to 2 or 4 

 inches in the row according to the size of the varietj'. Plantings 

 may be made from early spring until mid-June. For winter 

 storage the later date is advisable.

 is important not to cramp the heads.
