CARROT 
CULTURE. Sow any time in deep, loose soil. Sandy loam 
about 1/2 inch deep. Sow in rows 18 inches apart, or sow 
in ridges same as Lettuce. Irrigate same as for Beets. A 
constant supply of Carrots may be had by sowing early 
varieties in succession or by sowing early, medium and 
late ones at the same time. Carrots may be left in the 
ground for a long time as they do not become bitter as do 
Beets. Carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutriti¬ 
ous of the garden roots. It is very profitable because of 
the large quantity that a small patch can produce, and 
there is no waste as any surplus may be fed to rabbits or 
other animals. For shipping, the seed should be planted 
in August and September. An acre will require 3 or 4 
pounds of seed.
