Carrots 
CULTURE. — Carrots do best in well enrich- 
ed 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 mois- 
ture. Plant in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, 
thinning later to about 4 inches apart in the 
rows. Care should be taken to have the land 
clean, as the seedings 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.
