Good sandy loam is best adapted for car¬ 
rots of all varieties. The shorter varieties, 
however, can be sown on heavier lands with 
good results. For garden, sow the early and 
short varieties at any time after January 1 
and repeat often for a succession of tender 
roots. For general crop, sow in the open field 
about April 1, using four to six pounds per 
acre for rows 16 to 18 inches apart. While 
you get a good uniform root by thinning the 
young plants, it is not necessary to do so to 
get a crop of good, average carrots. In most 
parts of California carrots can be planted 
every 4 weeks during the year.

much the same as that of cabbage. It does 
not make a good summer crop however, as it

and with market gardeners proves a profitable 
one, owing to the scarcity of good market 
vegetables when Cauliflower is at its best.
