8 McCULLOUGH‘S SEEDS 
THE BEST TABLE CARROTS 
Carrots have become a very popular vegetable from the consumer’s standpoint, since nutrition specialists 
have pointed out their value in the human diet. They add flavor to soups and meats, besides being healthful, 
delicious and to an extent ornamental, and should be more largely used. In addition to their table uses, they 
are a nutritious food for all kinds of stock and poultry. 
Culture. Carrots do best in rich, light loamy soil, and where the soil is shallow or stiff, select the short 
growing varieties, rather than the longest rooted sorts. For early crop sow in March; for main crop in April 
or May, in rows 18 inches apart, cultivating and weeding as soon as the plants are up. Continue in cultivation 
until maturity. Cover the seed half an inch deep and see that the soil is pressed firmly, thin to 4 to 6 inches 
apart. One ounce sows 300 feet of row; 2 Ibs. per acre.
