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 varieties 
from 2 to 3 in. If too crowded, plants will grow slowly so that small, 
misshapen roots and unsatisfactory yields may be produced. 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 
Danvers } ;

worked soil gives the finest carrots. The later sowings will produce 
nice, tender carrots in the fall. A pkt. will sow about 30 ft. of row;
