Carrots 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Carrots require about the same simple care as 
beets, they have no serious insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked by 
disease. Since freshly manured soil often causes divided roots, it is best to 
plant them in soil that has been richly fertilized the previous season. Plant 
the seed one-half inch deep in loose, well prepared soil, making rows 16 to 
24 inches apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants are well established and 
thin to 2 or 4 inches in the row according to the size of the variety. Plant¬ 
ings may be made from early spring until mid-June. For winter storage the 
later date is advisable.
