Carrots are grown largely both for feeding to stock and culinary purposes; the long varieties 
used for the former, the “Horn” and medium sorts for the latter. The “ Horn ” sorts can be 
grown on thin soil and are mostly for early use. The others prefer deep, sandy loam that was well 
manured the previous year for some other crop, such as potatoes or onions. Sow in April or May 
or for late crops for table use, up to the end of June, about one inch deep in drills 15 inches apart 
for garden sorts. The rows in field cultivation should be two feet apart. 1 bin out the plants from 
three to eight inches apart, according to variety. One ounce of seed is sufficient for 100 feet of drill , 
four pounds to an acre.
