Carrots 
Carrots thrive best in warm, light soil, enriched with well rotted 
manure. Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared, 
in drills 15 inches apart; cover the seeds about one-half inch deep, 
and thin to from 3 to 5 inches in the row. In field culture when grown 
for horses and cattle, the rows should be two feet apart, so that the 
crop can be worked with horse and cultivator. 
Machipongo, Va., Feb. 27, 1933. 
Am sorry to send you such a small order, but we have just 
a small place in our back yard to grow vegetables. We like 
your seeds very, very much. I believe every seed comes up 
that we plant. I wrote a friend in West Virginia two years 
ago how well we liked your seeds and for her to try them. 
Her answer was: Am well acquainted with Alneer’s seeds, 
have been using them for years. Hope to give you a larger 
order next time.
