CARROT 
Carrots require soft fertile soil to produce roots of the finest quality. It is important that the soil be finely broken 
up to the full depth of the carrot roots and remain in a porous condition until the crop is pulled. May be sown in suc- 
cession from early spring to midsummer. Sow in drills 14 to 16 inches apart and cover lightly. Firm the soil over the 
seed, especially in dry weather. Thin to 2 inches apart in the row.
