How te Grow Carrel

make successive 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 7 in. apart in the row and the 
larger, later varieties from 3 to 4 in. 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.
