One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for 1 acre. 
The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy 
loam, deeply tilled. It is best to sow on ground that has been 
well manured the previous year for some other crop, such as 
Celery, Potatoes, Onions or Peas, but avoiding such crops as 
Cabbage or Turnips, or any of the tap-rooted section. For 
early and main crops sow the latter part of April; for later 
crops they may be sown any time until the beginning of June.

thinning out to 3’or 4 inches between the plants.
