Sow the seed thinly in shallow drills early in the 
spring in rows not less than 12 in. apart. Make suc¬ 
cession 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. Culti¬ 
vate 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 are 
required to drill one acre. The early varie¬ 
ties 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.
