A te R af Seed crop this year very 
small everywhere 
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 14 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 | foot apart.
