CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Carrots require about the same simple care as beets; they 
have no serious insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked by disease. It is best to 
plant them in soil that is friable and richly fertilized. 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 winter storage 
the later date is advisable.
