CARROTS 
Choice Seed for the Most Critical 
Gardeners 
For an early crop 
the seed should be 
sown from the first 
to the middle of 
April, and for the 
later crop about the 
first of June. The 
seed should be 
planted in drills 
about 14 inches 
apart, covering about 
inch; when the 
plants come up, thin 
to 4 inches apart in 
the row. The soil 
should be fertilized 
the fall preceding. 
Fresh manure should 
never be used. Cul¬ 
tivate at frequent 
intervals if you wish 
your crops to ma¬ 
ture quickly, or if 
extra large speci¬ 
mens are desired. 
An ounce of seed 
will sow 100 feet of 
drill; 3 to 4 pounds 
for one acre.
