Carrot 



CULTURE — Forthe 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 cul- 

 ture 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. 100 

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

CURRIE'S IMPROVED MILWAUKEE 

 MARKET 



In shape, color and genera] appearance this sort 

 is an improvement on the well-known Danvers. It is 

 broad at the neck and gradually narrows down to a 

 blunt, pointer base. In color, it is an attractive bright 

 orange. The flesh is tender and sweet throughout, and 

 is entirely free from core. It is one of the heaviest 

 croppers and its handsome appearance makes it an ex- 

 cellent bunching Carrot for market. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 25c; 

 % lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.50. 



CHANTENAY IMPROVED 



The market gardener's and trucker's favorite. It is 

 an early, very productive, half-long, stump-rooted_ va- 

 riety, 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 or- 

 ange 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 

 undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot for early market use. Pkt. 

 20c; % lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $5.50. 



EARLY SCARLET HORN 



one of the best. Pkt., 



DANVER'S SELECT STOCK 



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 feed- 

 ing purposes. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $5.50. 



NANTE'S HALF-LONG RED 



Carrot inter- 

 rieties. It is 

 lb., $1.50. 



STUMP-ROOTED— As the name implies, this is 

 mediate in length, between the short and long 

 medium early. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; 



EARLY FRENCH FORCrNG 



A valuable forcing variety, with short stubby roots. Pkt. 

 1 oz., 20c; % lb-. 60c; 1 lb., $1.50. 



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; % lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.00; 

 5 lbs., $4.50. 



LARGE WHITE BELGIAN 



This variety is amazingly productive, and is extensively grown 

 for feeding stock. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; 1 lb., 85c; 

 5 lbs., $3.50. 



LONG ORANGE IMPROVED 



It has long been a favorite stock sort, and in recent years has 

 been much improved by selection of the best formed and deepest 

 colored roots. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; % lb 

 lbs., $3.50. 



30c; 1 lb., 85c; 5 



Medium long, tapering gradually from the shoulder 

 which averages 3 inches in diameter. It is smooth, color 

 bright, very productive. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; % lb., 

 30c; 1 lb., 85c. 



IMPROVED RED CORED CHANTENAY 



The tops are shorter and the foliage finer cut than the regular 

 Chantenay. However, the tops are not brittle and are strong 

 enough to bunch easily. 



The surface of the root is smooth and free from large eyes 

 and side rootlets. The exterior color is a rich orange, the cores 

 are small and nearly the same color as the flesh, under favor- 

 able conditions the roots grow about 5% to 6 inches long, are 

 2 to 2% inches in diameter at the shoulder and are broad at the 

 bottom. It is the finest of all Carrots for slicing or for dicing in 

 soups and salads. It is also 10 per cent sweeter than other va- 

 rieties. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 25c; % lb., 60c; 1 lb., $1.75.
