CTJLTUEE—The carrot is one of the most nutritious and 
healthful roots, and should be more generally used for 
the table as well as for stock feeding purposes. Will grow 
in any soil; sandy deep loam is best. Sow as early as 
the ground can be worked, in rows 15 to 18 inches apart, 
covering about one-half inch. The plants should be thin¬ 
ned to two, three, or even four inches apart in rows.
