Carrot Culture 
The best soil for the Carrot is a sandy loam made rich by manuring the prev¬ 
ious year; any good land if thoroughly and deeply worked will produce satisfac¬ 
tory crops. It is advisable to 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 early in rows 16 to 18 inches apart. For field culture 
sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart, using from 1 Y 2 to 3 pounds of seed to the acre. 
Cover V 2 to 1 inch deep and see to it that the soil is pressed firmly above the 
seed. As soon as the plants appear, use the cultivator or wheel hoe. Thin 2 to 6 
inches apart in the row, according to the size of the variety.
