Carrots 
CULTURE. — Carrots do best in well enriched and 
manured sandy loam, though they will do well in 
any good land that is deep and thoroughly worked. 
For early crop, sow seed during the early part of 
April; for late crop, in July and August. As the 
seed are very slow in germinating, it will be found 
helpful to soak the seed for twelve hours previous 
to planting, in warm water, and to roll the land after 
planting, to prevent evaporation of moisture. Plant 
in rows 12 to IS inches apart, thinning later to about 
4 inches apart in the rows. Care should be taken 
to have the land clean, as the seedlings are very 
delicate, and should not be run over with weeds. 
Keep well cultivated. One oz. seed is sufficient for 
100 feet drill, 3 to 4 lbs. for an acre.
