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 and thin carrots 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 California. 
Under most conditions it is rather disappointing when grown in the East. Morse’s Bunching, and Supreme Half 
Long are the best for bunching, Nantes and Tendersweet are popular garden varieties. 
Most commercial carrot growers are now controlling weeds by spraying with dry-cleaning solution. 
are usually not a serious factor in growing carrots.
