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 i 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 y/z 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.
