working order; for late crops they may be sown 
any time until the middle of June. Sow in rows 
about fifteen inches apart.

round, two inches long, fine flavor and color.

Carrots are an All Season vegetable. It is carrot planting time from March until July. 
The young carrot is now a regular member of the menu all over the country, an all season 
vegetable, and it is never so good, so tender, so well-flavored, as when freshly pulled. Baby 
carrots take up little space and plantings at intervals will keep a supply all season.
