Carrots 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Carrots require about the same sim- 
ple care as beets, they have no serious insect enemies, and they 
are rarely attacked by disease. Since freshly manured soil often 
causes divided roots, it is best to plant them in soil that has been 
richly fertilized the previous season. Plant the seed one-half inch 
deep in loose, well-prepared soil, making rows 16 to 24 inches 
apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants are well established and 
thin to 2 or 4 inches in the row according to the size of the variety. 
Plantings may be made from early spring until mid-June. For win- 
ter storage the later date is advisable.
