CARROTS 
Buy with Confidence 
Culture: The carrot will do well in any good, well worked 
soil, but freshly manured soil often causes divided and irregu¬ 
lar roots. For early use sow the seed when the ground is fit 
to work, in rows 1? inches apart, and when 2 inches high, 
thin out so that the plants stand 2 inches apart in the row. 
For fall and winter use, sow the seed from the 1st to the 15th 
of June. The roots may be stored in cellar or pit, covered with 
dirt, where they will keep solid until late in the spring.
