VEGETABLE GARDENING IN COLOR, 
CARROTS 
Well known to be a good source of vitamin A, the eyesight vitamin. 
They are most palatable and nutritious when eaten Taw. Very easy to grow, and highly profitable from 
the point of view of utilizing garden space; so attractive that many do not hesitate to edge their flower 
gardens with them. They are particularly free from attacks by insects and diseases. 
Sow from April to July in drills 14 inch deep and 15 inches apart; thin out to 2 inches. 
Radish seed may be sown along with Carrot to give you two crops from the same row, and the Carrots 
may be stored over winter the same way as beets are. See under Beet on page 7. 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill, and should yield 100 pounds or more of produce.
