One ounce to 100 
feet of row 
A light, loamy soil that has been well manured the previous year is 
preferred for growing Carrots, although good crops may also be obtained 
from ordinary garden soil. For early use seed may be sown in hotbeds 
from January until March, and in the open ground as soon as the weather 
becomes warm and settled, usually in April. Sow seed 14 inch deep in 
rows 15 inches apart, and later thin to 3 inches in the row.. Keep soil 
between the rows well hoed and free from weeds. From July 1 to 15 
sow for winter crops.
