Carrots 



(Gelben Ruben) 



Deep, light, sandy soil will produce smooth, shapely Carrots, 

 while a heavier clay will grow firmer and better colored roots. 

 For early crop, sow the short-rooted varieties from the first to 

 the middle of April, in rows 12 inches apart, and cover about 

 Vl inch deep. For main crop, sow up to the middle of June in 

 rows 15 to 18 inches apart. Thin out the plants to stand 3 to 4 

 inches apart. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of row.
