Carrot 
Culture. —Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil to grow them to perfection. A good, light 
and well-enriched sandy loam is the best for this crop. For field culture, sow in drills 3 to 34 feet 
apart, so as to cultivate by horse. Market-gardeners sow ip drills, about 18 inches apart and culti¬ 
vate by hand. For early crops cover % inch deep, and thin to 6 inches apart in the rows; for late 
cover % inch deep, and thin to 4 inches. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds required for an acre
