Culture. — Carrots to grow in perfection require a rich, deep sandy 
loam, well pulverized and deeply cultivated. For an early crop sow in 
May and June in drills about t foot apart, thinning out to 4 inches in the 
row. Sow for main crop in June and July! The large late 
variety for field culture should be sown in drills 3 to 3 inches 
apart, so as to cultivate by horse. An important point in 
sowing Carrots (as in all other seeds) is to tread the rows 
firmly after sowing.
