Carrots, Danvers Improved Half Long 
CARROTS 
Carrots thrive best in a rather light rich 
loam. The ground should be well manured 
with fine, well-rotted or composted manure, 
and be thoroughly worked quite deep. Sow 
from middle of April to middle of May, % 
inch deep, in rows 14 inches apart, and thin 
the plants to stand 5 to 6 inches apart in the 
row. For late crops, sow in June or July. An 
important point is to tread the rows firmly 
after sowing. For field-culture, Carrots should 
be sown in drills 3 to 34% feet apart, so as to 
allow horse-cultivation.

sort, slightly longer than Chantenay, taper- 
ing to a blunt end. Pkt. 10c., oz. 40c.,
