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 sup- 
as late as August first.
