Cultivation of Carrots. — This 
vegetable does its best in a 
warm, deep, rather light, and 
fairly fertile soil that is well 
supplied with humus. Sow the 
seed from April to July in drills 
1 foot apart, covering the seed 
half an inch in depth. As the 
young plants appear thin out to 
from 3 to 5 inches apart, ac- 
cording to the size of the ex- 
ported variety. Keep the soil 
well cultivated, as weeds are a 
sure death to young carrot 
plants. Keep irrigated during 
droughts if it be possible. One 
ounce of seed will plant lOi) 
feet of drill, 3 to 4 lbs. to the 
acre.
