12 GRAND RAPIDS GROWERS, Inc., Grand Rapids, Michigan 
Carrots 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Carrots require about the same sim- 
ple 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 lv to 24 inches apart. 
Cultivate as soon as the plants are well established and thin to 2 
or 4 inches in row, according to size of the variety. Plantings may 
be made from early spring until mid-June. For winter storage the 
later date is advisable.
