CARROTS 
CULTURE. Prefers a deep mellow soil. Sow seed in April for early, 
or in July for fall crop. Sow seed one-half inch deep in rows 12 inches 
apart. Thin out to 3 inches apart. If their growth is checked, carrots 
split and become rooty. To avoid this, water them thoroughly during a 
drought. Make successive plantings so as to assure a constant supply all 
summer. Seed may be sown from early spring to as late as August first.
