Carrots 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Carrots require about the same simple care as beets; they 
have no serious insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked: by disease. It is best to 
plant them in soil that is friable and richly fertilized. Plant the seed one-half inch deep 
in loose, well-prepared soil, making rows 16 to 24 inches apart. Cultivate as soon as the 
plants are well established and thin to 2 or 4 inches in the row, according to the size of 
the variety. Plantings may be made from early spring until mid-June. For winter storage 
the later date is advisable.

Supreme Half Long 6 to 7 inches long, about 2 inches in diameter at shoulders tapering 
to a half stump. Exterior smooth and of excellent color. Interior flesh tender, 
sweet and of fine flavor. Core small and the same dark red as the rest of the flesh.
