CARROT. 
German, SJloljre. French, Carotte. 
The Carrot, like many other root crops, delights in a sandy loam, deeply tilled. 
Seed should be sown early in spring, as soon as the ground is in working condition, 
in drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, thinning plants to about three or four inches 
in the row. Keep 
clean by frequent hoe¬ 
ing and seeding, for if 
neglected the young 
plants are easily smoth¬ 
ered and the crop is lost. 
The Short Horn may be 
allowed to grow more 
closely, as the roots are 
small and short. To 
preserve roots for table 
use, they should be 
buried in sand in the 
cellar. Three pounds 
of seed is the usual pre¬ 
scribed quantity per 
acre, and should "be 
sown with a seed drill.
