CURRIE BROTHERS CO. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 
CARROT 
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 plants as soon as they can be handled, leaving them about 4 
inches apart.

CURRIEL’§ MILWAUKEE MARKET—In shape, color and 
general appearance this sort is an improvement on the 
well-known Danvers. It is broad at the neck and grad- 
ually narrows down to a blunt, pointer 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 ap- 
pearance makes it an excellent bunching Carrot for market.

CHANTENAY IMPROVED—tThe market gardener’s and 
trucker’s favorite. It is an early, very productive, halflong, 
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., 10c; 1 0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 40c; 1 1b., $1.00; 5 Ibs., 
$4.25.

largely used also for feeding purposes. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 15c;
