CARROTS 
HOW TO GROW THEM. Carrots grow the best in deep 
loose, fertile soil, although any good garden soil well worked 
will produce Carrots. 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 1/2 inch deep; 
then thin out the plants so they will stand 2 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.
