LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1922. 11 
| : 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. 
I} 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre in drills.

Chantenay. 
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 un- 
usually 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; 1 0z.15c; % lb. 30c; 1 lb. $1.00. 
RonEry, prenck Milwaukee Market—In shape, color and general appearance this sort is an improvement on the well-known 
Ux 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. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; %4 lb. 30c; 
1 Ib. $1.00. 
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; 1 oz. 15c; % lb. 30c; 1 lb. $1.00. 
Currie’s Early Market—An early, stump-rooted sort of great merit. A good 
cropper and of fine flavor and color. Pkt.5c; oz. 15c; %4 lb. 30c; 1 1b. $1.00.

rot intermediate in length, between the short and long varieties. It is 
medium early. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; % lb. 30c; 1 1b. $1.00. 
Ox Heart or Guerande—A variety with short, thick roots, the diameter often 
exceeding the length. Color, bright orange; sweet and fine grained; 
good for table or stock. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; %4 lb. 30c; 1 Ib. $1.00; 5 Ibs.

est colored roots. Pkt. 5c; 1 0z. 15c; % lb. 30c; 1 lb. 90c; 5 lbs. by ex-
