CARROTS 
HOW TO GROW THEM. Carrots grow the best in 
deep, loose, fertile soil, clthough any good garden soil 
well worked will produce Carrots. If your soil is rather 
heavy or hard, plant Early Scarlet Horn. For the first 
crop, sow the seed in April as soon as the soil is warm 
and fit to work, then make successive plantings until 
August 1, the last for fall or winter use. Make the 
rows 12 to 15 inches apart; cover the seed Vfe inch deep; 
then thin out the plants so they will stand 3 to 4 inches 
apart in the rows. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet 
long; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre in 2-foot rows or 6 to 8 
pounds in rows 1 foot apart.
