BROTHERS SURE CROP SEEDS 
CARROT 
Carrots prefer a rich sandy loam, well tilled. In any other soil they are seldom their correct 
shape and size. 
For early crop, sow as soon as the ground can be worked, say in April or early May. For 
late crops sow in July or August. Sow the seed ¥ inch deep in rows a foot apart, thinning 
to about 3 inches apart in the row; Carrot seed is slow to germinate. An ounce will sow 
about 150 feet of row; 3 pounds per acre.

PLANTING THE SEED 
Place a stake at each end of the row and stretch a line 
tightly between them. DON’T TRY TO MAKE ROWS WITH- 
OUT A LINE OR STRAIGHT EDGE. 
Make the furrow for the seed with a hoe. Fine seed, 
(carrots, cauliflower, collards, beets, etc.) should not be 
planted more than 1% inch deep. Medium seeds (okra, 
spinach, cucumber) 1 inch deep. In heavy soils, beans, 
squash, onion sets and peas need not more than 1 inch, 
but the soil must be moist. In lighter soils 2 inches is deep 
enough. 
The old theory that seed should be planted deep enough to 
come in contact with soil moisture still holds, but in dry 
weather the soil should be watered thoroughly before plant- 
ing so the moisture will be riaht at the surface. If the row 
is then covered with a board, grass sacks, or paper until the 
seed germinates, it will not be necessary to bury the seed 
very deep even though the weather is dry. 
Lose Brothers Sure Crop Seeds germinate freely, so it is a 
mistake to plant it too thickly. This is especially true if it 
is treated with ROOTONE, which speeds up germination and 
root growth.

GUIDE POSTS IN GARDENING 
1. DO—Locate the garden in an open spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun light each day, away 
2. IF you have heavy clay or light sand use decayed vegetable matter, old rotted manure, peet moss, com- 
mercial humus or well rotted manure to improve it. 
3. APPLY FERTILIZER—Use about 30 lbs of Sheep manure, cow manure, or Vigoro per 1,000 sq. ft. and you 
will not have to worry about deficiencies. 
4. DONT plant in Wet ground. If the soil sticks together when a ball is made and will not crumble when 

light pressure is applied it is too wet to work.
