CARROT 
CULTURE.—While a sandy loam, made rich by manuring 
the previous year, is the best soil for the Carrot, any good 
land, if thoroughly and deeply worked, will produce satis¬ 
factory crops. It is advisable to sow as early in the Spring 
as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may be 
grown from sowings as late as June 15. The table use, sow 
the smaller kinds early in rows 16 to 18 inches apart. For 
field culture, sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart, using from 
13^ to 3 pounds of seed to the acre. Cover H to 1 inch deep. 
One ounce of seed to 100 feet of row.
