CARROT Zanahoria, Sp. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre CULTURE.—Carrots do best in warm, deep, rather light and fairly fertile soil that is well supplied with humus, or on strong loam, having been in clover and broken the year before. For the earliest crop sow seed of the early short-rooted sorts in April or May in drills a foot apart and thin to 2 inches. For main crop, sow in May or June, or for succession even in July, using the longer rooted varieties. The rows for these may be 16 to 20 inches apart, and the plants thinned to 2, 3 or even 4 inches. To raise Carrots for stock, the rows may be made wide enough apart, say 2 to 2§ feet, to allow of cultivation by horsepower. In sowing Carrot or other small seed, especially during dry weather, pains should be taken to firm the soil well over the seed, either by means of the feet or With the roller of the garden drill.
