Carrots Are Rich in Vitamins 
Grow plenty to use fresh this summer and sufficient quantity besides 
for next winter’s consumption. Easy to store—simply place in box 
in cool room and cover lightly with sand. Carrots are not alone one 
of the most wholesome of foods, supplying - precio'us vitamins, but 
when half-grown are one of the greatest delicacies possible to place 
on the table. Persons who say they do not like carrots usually will 
be found never to have tried them young. The seeds are very slow 
to germinate and they should be marked in the row with radishes or 
some other quickly-maturing crop which will be harvested before the 
carrots crowd. Mellow soil which will not bake over the 
seeds and will not harden in midsummer is the kind carrots 
like. Plant in rows 16 to 18 inches apart. 1 oz. of seed 
for 100 ft. row —4 lbs. to acre.
