CARROT 
Carrot Culture 
Any good soil is suitable. It is a good plan 
to plant a few radish seeds with the carrots 
as carrots grow slowly and the radish marks 
the rows so they can be cultivated before the 
earrot comes up. Plant rows same distance 
apart as beets and thin to about four inches 
apart in rows, or, if from two to four inches 
apart they need not be thinned. Cover about 
one inch deep. Cultivate often and thor- 
oughly. Sowing can be done as early in the 
spring as the soil can be put in condition, up 
to June 15 to 20. Plant the best seed obtain- 
able. That is the quality we offer you.
