No home garden would be complete without a goodly supply of carrots 
planted for a succession, which can be achieved both by planting at different 
dates and by a choice of varieties. ; 
Although light, sandy loam soils produce the smoothest and straightest 
carrots, all deep loam soils (except the heaviest clays) will produce satis- 
factory crops. Enormous yields are produced on muck soils. The home gar- 
dener is interested in growing the tender and, so far as possible, the core- 
less varieties. 
Carrots are remarkably free from insects and plant diseases.
