Burpee’s Tasty Carrots 
Sow the seed thinly in shallow drills early in the spring in rows not less than 12 in. apart. Make succes¬ 
sion sowings every two weeks up to the early part of July. When well started, thin the small early 
varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the row and the larger later varieties from 3 to 4 in. A rich, mellow, 
deeply worked soil gives the finest Carrots. Cultivate throughout the season to insure smooth 
straight roots. For winter storing, sow a long row about the middle of June which will make full size 
roots before cold weather sets in. One ounce of carrot seed will sow 250 ft. of drill. 3 lbs. of seed is 
required to drill one acre. The early varieties mature in 60 to 65 days after sowing. The midseason 
Carrots require 65 to 75 days and the late varieties 75 to 85 days to come to maturity.
