A little more particular as to soil than beets, but otherwise just as easy to grow, Carrots deserve a place in every garden. Always 
recognized as wholesome adjuncts to the diet, they have recently been found to be very rich in the important vitamins, while no 
one who has eaten fresh, tender, young Carrots will deny that they make one of the most delicious dishes the garden can supply. 
The best crops are grown on soils that were well manured the previous season but good results can be 
obtained on any good garden soil, provided it is dug deeply and thoroughly pulverized. Freshly 
manured ground is to be avoided, for it will produce split and misshapen roots. Sow the seed any 
time after the frost is out of the ground, in shallow drills 15 to 20 inches apart, covering it about an 
inch deep and pressing the soil down firmly over the seed. When the seedlings are well up, thin 
them out, leaving them standing about 2 inches apart in the rows. Later on as they begin to reach the 
edible stage, they may be thinned again, so as to leave at least 4 inches between plants which are to 
remain until they attain full size. To insure a constant supply, make sowings every three or four weeks 
from late March to the end of June. Early June is a good time to sow the main crop for roots to be 
stored like beets for winter use. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds are required to sow an acre
