HOW TO GROW THEM. Carrots grow the best in deep, loose, 
fertile soil, although any good garden soil well worked as deepas § , 
possible, will produce Carrots. For the first crop, sow the seedin f 
April as soon as the soil is warm and fit to work, then make suc- 
cessive plantings until August 1, the last for fall or winter use. 
Make the rows 12 to 15 inches apart; cover the seed 14 inch deep; 
then thin out the plants so they will stand 2 inches apart in the rows. 
One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre } 
in 2-foot rows or 6 to 8 pounds in rows 1 foot apart. 60 to 80 days.
