CARROTS Very Healthful Cooked 
How and When to Plant 
The carrot, whether used raw, fried, boiled or stewed, 
used alone or combined with other vegetables or meat, is 
not surpassed in nutritious healthfulness by any vegetable. Plant carrot seed from the time the 
soil can be worked in the spring till July, in 1 or 2-foot rows for hand cultivation or in 30-inch 
rows where a horse drawn tool is used. Use one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, 4 to 5 pounds 
to the acre, covering one-half inch deep and later thinning to a four-inch stand. Do not overlook 
the value of this crop as a stock food. For best results, mix 4 pounds of Vigoro Fertilizer per 100 
feet of row before planting.
