N. B. — Our Carrot Seed is imported from France, 

 where the best stocks are produced, and the war 

 has very materially reduced the supply. We have 

 kept our prices down as low as possible and hope to 

 be able to fill all orders. Be careful about buying 

 low-priced seed this season. 



Milwaukee Market — In shape, color and general appear- 

 ance this sort is an improvement on the well-known 

 Danvers. It is broad at the neck and gradually narrows 

 down to a blunt, pointed base. In color it is an attrac- 

 tive bright orange, the flesh is tender and sweet 

 throughout, and is almost entirely free from core. It is 

 one of the heaviest croppers and its handsome appear- 

 ance makes it an excellent bunching Carrot for market, 

 in fact, market gardeners in our vicinity proclaim it 

 one of the very best for their purpose, and we sell them 

 large quantities of the seed annually. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 

 Yi lb. 60c; 1 lb 



EARLY FRENCH FORCING 



For the successful cultivation of this root the 

 soil should be light (sandy loam is best, enriched 

 the previous year with manure) and deeply tilled. 

 For an early crop the Seed should be sown as early 

 as the ground can be properly worked. For later 

 crops it may be sown any time until about the 

 middle of June. Be careful to compress the soil 

 over the Seed after sowing. Sow in rows about 15 

 inches apart, or for field culture 1% to 2 feet apart, 

 covering the Seed about one-half to one inch deep. 

 Keep down weeds. Thin out young plants as soon 

 as they can be handled, leaving them about 4 inches 

 apart. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre in drills. 

 Chantenay — The market gardener's and trucker's favorite. 

 It is an early, very productive, half-long, stump-rooted 

 variety, smooth-skinned, fine in appearance and entirely 

 coreless. The shoulder is unusually thick and the root 

 tapers slightly down towards the blunt point so that it 

 is pulled very easily. The color is a rich orange and 

 the texture and quality are unsurpassed. For table use 

 many regard this variety — because of its form, color, 

 texture and delicate flavor — the finest of all sorts, and it 

 is undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot for early 

 market use. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; 1 lb $2.00 



$2.00 



Danvers — No Carrot will produce more to the acre, with a minimum length of root, than 

 this one. It is of medium length, heavy at the neck and quite smooth; color, rich orange. 

 A very superior table sort and largely used also for feeding purposes. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 

 *4 lb. 60c; 1 lb $1.90

 flavor and color. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 50c; 1 lb $1.85
