CULTURE — Carrots will grow in 
any soil, but sandy, deep loam is 
best. Sow as early as the ground 
can be worked, in rows 15 to 18 
inches apart, covering about one- 
half inch. Plants should be thinned 
to two, three, or even four inches 
apart in the row. 
Stones, fresh manure, clods of 
soil or lumps of manure cause 
poor forked roots, and failure to 
thin young plants leads to twisted 
inferior roots. Deeply prepared 
uniform friable soil produces 
clean, well developed roots,
