CARROTS 



CULTURE — Prefers a deep, mellow soil. Sow seed in April for an early, or in July for a fall crop. Sow seed half an inch 

 deep in rows twelve inches apart. Thin out to three inches apart. If their growth is checked, carrots split and become rooty. To 

 avoid this, water them thoroughly during a drought. Make successive plantings so as to insure a constant supply all summer. 

 Seed may be sown from early Spring to as late as August 15th. 1 oz. sows 125 feet of drill. if Recommended for Quick Freezing

• 309 RED CORE CHANTENAY 



We feel confident that the popularity of this strain will outrival 

 that of the old Chantenay, because in this type the core has been 

 practically bred out. The color is also deeper and richer, which 

 gives the beautifully-shaped roots an even more attractive 

 appearance. In all other respects it possesses the fine qualities 

 of its parent, Chantenay. Season 70 days.
