CuLturE. The Carrot, whether used raw, fried, boiled or stewed, used 
alone or combined with other vegetables or meat is not surpassed in nutri- 
tious healthfulness by any vegetable. Plant Carrot seed from the time 
the soil can be worked in the spring till July, in 1- or 2-ft. rows for hand 
cultivation or in 80-inch rows where a machine tool is used. Use 1 
ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, 3 to 4 pounds to the acre, covering 
one-half inch deep and later thin to a 4-inch stand. To cultivate the rows 
at an early date, sow Cabbage or Kohl Rabi seed, which germinates quickly, 
with carrot seed, which germinates slowly. Do not overlook the value of this 
crop as a stock food. Number of days from planting to roots of bunching
