Carrots 
Grow Your Own and Enjoy Their Lusciousness 
Carrots deserve a space in your garden. In fact make several plantings so 
that you can have some early, midseason and late. 
CULTLIBE —For the earliest crop sow seed in April, as soon as the soil is in good workable condi¬ 
tion. Later plantings can be made in May and June. The soil should not be heavily fertilized, espe¬ 
cially with manure. Cover the seed about inch deep, spacing the rows 12 to 16 inches apart. It is 
important to thin the plants to stand not closer than 3 inches. Give frequent hoeing and cultivation. 
Carrots pulled just as soon as sizeable are at their best, without a hard core. 
QUANTITY OF SEED. One ounce should sow a 200 ft. row, 2 to 3 lbs. an acre. 
Cbantenay Carrot 
3666 Chantcnay or Model Tame 
suits this variety as it is a model all around 
carrot. The illustration is typical of its shape 
and it is smooth, fine grained, of very good 
eating quality. When fully developed the roots 
are about 6 inches long and 234 inches in 
diameter at the shoulder. Though a medium 
early variety the roots may be pulled while 
small so it gives you baby carrots with the 
earliest. An excellent fall and winter keeper.

CULTURE —Sow seeds early in hotbed or cold frame. As soon as the plants are 
about 3 inches high, transplant to a nicely prepared bed in the border, or to 
boxes, setting them 4 to 5 inches apart. When about 8 inches high, and stocky, 
set them out 6 to 8 inches apart in rows 3 ft. apart and cultivate well during 
summer. Earth up for blanching in autumn, but never hoe or earth up when the 
foliage is moist or wet. The late crop may be set out in July.
