CARROT 



OUR CARROT SEED is all iarro"T> from carefully selected roots, of 

 Uniform Size and Shape. 



Culture — 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 paints as soon as they can be handled, 

 leaving them about 4 inches apart. 



1 or,, to 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 I1»k. 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 ap- 

 pearance and entirely coreless. The shoulder is un- 

 usually thick and the root tapers slightly down 

 toward'? 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, tex- 

 ture and delicate flavor — the finest of all sorts, and 

 it is undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot for early 

 market u.=e. 



Early French 

 Forcing. 



Danvers. 



MilTv-aukee Market — In shape, color and general appearance 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 

 attractive 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 appearance 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.
