CARROTS 
Sow seed thinly in shallow drills early in the spring in rows not less than 12 in. apart. Make suc¬ 
cession sowings every two weeks up to the early part of July. When well started, thin the small 
early varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the row and the larger later varieties from 3 to 4 in. A rich, 
mellow, deeply worked soil gives the finest Carrots. Cultivate throughout the season to insure 
smooth straight roots. For winter storing, sow about the middle of June which will make full size 
roots before cold weather sets in. One ounce of Carrot seed will sow 250 ft. of drill. 3 lbs. of seed 
are required to drill one acre. The early varieties mature in 60 to 65 days after sowing; midseason 
varieties require 65 to 75 days and the late varieties 75 to 85 days.
