224 BURPEE’S GOLDINHART CARROTo

How to Grow Carrot 
Sow seed thinly in early spring in rows not less than 12 in. apart and 
make succession sowings every two weeks allowing plenty of time for the 
last sowing to mature before frost. Cover with % in. of fine soil. Thin 
the small early varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the row and the larger 
later varieties from 3 to4in. A rich, mellow, deeply worked soil gives the 
finest carrots. The later sowings will produce nice, tender carrots in the 
fall and the best for winter storing. A pkt. will sow about 30 ft. of row; 
an oz. about 200 ft.
