How to Grow CARROTS 
Sow seed thinly in early spring in rows not less than 12 in. apart 
and make additional sowings when the preceding planting is up 
and growing; allow plenty of time for the last sowing to mature 




before frost. Cover with % in. of fine soil. Thin the small early 
varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the row and the larger, later 
varieties from 3 to 4 in. A rich, mellow, deeply worked soil gives 
the finest carrots. The later sowings will produce nice, tender 
carrots in the fall and the best for winter storing. A pkt. will sow 
about 30 ft. of row; an oz. about 200 ft.
