Carrots-"New and Old Favorites 
Carrots require only average simple care and have 
no serious insect or disease pests. Sandy loam is the 
best soil type, however, almost any soil that is 
thoroughly and deeply worked will produce a good 
crop. Soil that has been richly fertilized the previous 
season is ideal as newly fertilized soil is apt to cause 
split roots. Plant seed in rows 16 to 18 inches apart 
and cover one-half to one inch, pressing the soil 
down firmly. February is a good month to sow for 
the spring crop, and August for the fall crop. How¬ 
ever, an almost continuous crop may be harvested 
by sowing seed at 4-6 week intervals throughout the 
year.
