alone or combined with other vegetables or meat is not sur- 
passed in nutritious healthfulness by any vegetable. Plant carrot seed from the time the soil can 
be worked in the spring till July, in 1- or 2-foot rows for hand cultivation or in 30-inch rows where 
a horse-drawn tool is used. Use one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, 4 to 5 pounds to the acre,
