How to Grow Carrots | 
- Sow seed thinly in early spring in rows not less than 12 in. apart 
and make additional sowings when the preceding planting is up and 
growing; allow plenty of time for the last sowing to mature before 
frost. Cover the seed with % in. of fine soil. Thin the small early 
varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the row and the larger, later vari- 
-eties from 2 to 3 in. If too crowded, plants will’ 
grow slowly so that small, misshapen roots and 
' unsatisfactory yields may be produced. This is 
especially true of all root crops. Do the thinning 
while plants are still small so as to disturb the 
roots of remaining seedlings as little as possible 
and be sure to firm the soil back around the 
plants left in the row. A rich, mellow, deeply 
worked soil gives the finest carrots. The later 
sowings will produce nice, tender carrots in the 
fall; these are the best for winter storing or 
may be used for immediate table use. A pkt. will 
sow about 30 ft. of row; an oz. about 200 ft.
