Carrots 
Mochre — Zanahoria—Carote 
The carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy 
loam, deeply tilled.' For early crops sow in the spring, as 
soon as the ground is in good working order; for late crops 
they may be sown any time until the middle of June. Sow 
in rows about fifteen inches apart.

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.
