To produce long, smooth carrots, the soil must be loose, free from stones and worked deep. Carrot seed is 
small and should be sown shallow, preferably after a rain. Sow seed thinly as carrots should be thinned to 2-3 
inches. Rows may be from 12 to 30 inches apart depending on type of tool used in cultivation. Carrots may 
be sown from early Spring to July 15th. 
Red Cored Chantenay and Long Chantenay are canning, baby food, and soup varieties. Hutchinson is a 
large variety grown chiefly in New England and Long Island. Imperator is the long, slender carrot from Cali- 
fornia. Under most conditions it is rather disappointing when grown in the East. Nantes, Morse’s Bunching, 
and Supreme Half Long are the best for bunching, with Tendersweet leading as a garden variety. 
Most commercial carrot growers are now controlling weeds by spraying with dry-cleaning solution. Insects 
are usually not a serious factor in growing carrots.
