CARROTS 
CULTURE—A sandy loam is the best for the Carrot, but any good land, if thor¬ 
oughly and deeply worked, will produce satisfactory crops. Sow as early in the Spring 
as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may be grown from sowing as late as 
June 15. For table use, sow the smaller kinds in rows 16 to 18 inches apart, and for 
field culture prepare the ground thoroughly and sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Cover one-half to 1 inch deep and see to it that the soil is well firmed above the seed.
