CARROTS 
One packet will sow 25 feet of row; one ounce 200 feet; 2 to 3 lbs. will sow an acre. 
The carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots and deserves to be 
more extensively used both for culinary and stock feeding purposes. They require about the same 
simple care as beets. Freshly manured soil often causes divided roots and it is therefore best to 
plant in soil that has been richly fertilized the previous season. Plant the seed }4 inch deep in loose 
well prepared soil in rows 16 to 24 inches apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants are well established 
and thin to 2 or 4 inches in the row according to the size of the variety. Plantings may be made 
from early spring to June 15th. For winter storage the later date is advisable.
