CARROTS 
Sow seed thinly in shallow drills early in the spring in rows not less than 12 in apart. Make 
succession sowings every two weeks up to the early part of July. When well started, thin 
the small early varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the row and the larger later varieties 
3 to 4 in A rich mellow, deeply worked soil gives the finest carrots. Cultivate throughout 
the season to insure smooth, straight, roots. For winter storing, sow about the middle ^ 
June which will make full size roots before cold weather sets in. 1 pkt. of seed will sow 
50 ftl of row; 1 oz. 200 ft.. 3 lbs. for one acre.
