152 Danvers Half-Long% 
Deep orange. Heavy yielder. Popular main crop variety (75 days) 
Well-known favorite carrot on account of its great productiveness 
and adaptability to all soils and sections. Commercial crops have 
yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre. Roots are half-long, almost 
cylindrical, and under ordinary culture grow 6 to 7 in. long and 
134 in. thick at shoulder, tapering gradually towards the stump 
end. If grown in deeply prepared soil, roots will measure 7 to 7 
in. long and 2 to 2% in. at the shoulder. Skin is rich, deep orange- 
red; flesh is bright orange, fine-grained, sweet and tender. Much 
more easily harvested than the long types, and an excellent 
variety for shipping or storing for winter use. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢; oz. 40¢; 14 Ib. $1.50. 
151 Chantenay or Model 
Deep orange, fine-grained, tender, and sweet (70 days) 
Adapted to all soils and sections. Roots are 4% to 5% in. long; 
114 to 2% in. thick at the shoulder, tapering to a distinctly stump 
end. The skin is a strong, bright orange, smooth, and clean; the 
flesh is the same color as the skin and varies little all the way 
through the root. Chantenay stores very well, and is the variety 
most often used by commercial canners because of its uniformity 
of color and its very high quality. Not as large as most other 
varieties, but a nationwide favorite nonetheless.

Cultural Suggestions 
Sow early in the spring in rows 12 
to 30 in. apart. Cover with % in. of 
soil and press gently. Wait until 
the young roots are pencil size be- 
fore thinning, then thin the plants 
to stand 2 to 4 in. apart in the row. 
Cooking the tiny surplus roots then 
makes a most delicious preview of 
the coming crop. Sowings should 
be made every two weeks until the 
early part of July. For tender car- 
rots in the fall or for winter storing, 
the later plantings are best. Do not 
can carrots. Store the mature roots 
in sand in a moist, cool cellar. A 
packet plants 30 ft.; 1 oz., 200 ft.; 
3 Ibs., an acre.

155 Touchon % 
Orange-red, sweet, tender flesh (70 days) 
The supremely high quality of this French strain places it fore- 
most in the favor of those who enjoy carrots most. It is of hand- 
some appearance and grows about 6% to7 in. in length and 1% in. 
in diameter, cylindrical, and holds its thickness well from the 
crown to the stump-rooted base. The bright orange skin is smooth 
and free from rootlets. There is no core; the tender flesh is bright 
orange-red, sweet, fine-grained and without any signs of hard fiber.

153 Maule’s Improved Long Orange 
Grows 10 to 12 in. in deep soil (85 days) 
If you have a deep, rich, mellow 
soil, the roots will penetrate readily 
and produce a gigantic crop. The 
roots are 10 to 12 in. long, 134 to 
2 in. thick at the shoulder, grad- 
ually tapering to a point. Skin and 
flesh are a beautiful bright orange, 
tender, flavorful, and sweet. Young- 
est carrots are most delectable; 
fully matured ones keep best. If you 
have rocky or shallow soil, do not 
attempt this variety; but plow deep 
and provide good fertility, and you 
can grow the biggest table carrots 
you ever saw.
