CARROTS 
Carrots succeed in any good garden soil; freshly manured 
ground will produce split and misshapen roots. Sow the seed 
any time after the frost is out of the ground, covering it about an 
inch deep and pressing down firmly. Thin the seedlings to 2 
inches apart until they begin to reach edible size, when they 
should be again thinned, this time to 4 inches. The thinnings 
will be found to be especially good eating. Make sowings every 
3 to 4 weeks from late March to the end of June. Carrots for 
winter storage should be sown in early June. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of drill; 
3 to 4 pounds are required to sow an acre

CELERY 
Celery wants plenty of fer¬ 
tilizer—enrich the spot where 
you are going to grow it with 
manure, humus, or rich com¬ 
post, or if you lack these, 
with a commercial fertilizer 
high in nitrogen. For early 
crops sow indoors or in a hot¬ 
bed about March 1, barely 
covering the seed with soil. 
When the seedlings are 2 to 
3 inches high, thin out or 
transplant 134 to 2 inches 
apart. Set out by the end of 
May. For winter Celery, sow 
seed in a coldframe or shel¬ 
tered spot in the garden 
about mid-April and reset in 
the trenches about July 1. It 
is a good plan to cut off the 
tops of the plants when they 
are 4 or 5 inches high to make 
them more stocky. Golden Plume Celery

one-half pound is required for an acre
