THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1906 
: Ea CULTURE.—Sow in drills. Cover 4% to 1 inch deep, and press soil about seed; afterward thin plants to 
a FY ; 2inches. Use 2 to 3 pounds of seed to acre; 1 ounce to 600 feet of drill. Make rows 12 to18 inches apart. 
aD : The smaller carrots are also grown under glass, to supply the winter markets. Use well rotted manure, 
as fresh manure makes root crops branch too much. If near a good market, make several plantings. Carrots do not demand excessively 
rich soil, and often do well on land where a clover sod had been plowed under the year before. 
OXHEART.—This carrot is a splendid sort. 
In length it comes between Early Scarlet Horn 
and Half Long Scarlet. It runs fully 3 to 4 
inches in diameter, and specimens have been 
raised measuring over 7 inches in diameter. In 
quality it is extra good, and will prove satis- 
factory for home use and profitable for market. 
Oxheart can be easily pulled, which makes the 
harvesting of this variety quite inexpensive. 
If you want an early, handsome, ready selling 
earrot, this sort will suit you.

EARLY SCAR-

: and favorably known 
to all growers. It is 
not large, but is often 
used for early crop. | 
It is sometimes used 
for forcing. Consid- |

to be the best early |

THE CHANTENAY.—This 
variety is a very productive 
one. It has an extra large 
shoulder, is easily dug, and is 
desirable in all respects. Itis < 
a stump rooted sort, very smooth, fine in texture and of a beautiful, 
rich, orange color. For table use it is by many considered to be the 
best of all, both on account of shape and quality. The flesh, when 
cooked, is very tender. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 1b., 25 cts.; 1b., 90 cts.

It is half long in shape, almost cylindrical, somewhat stump 
rooted, and of rich, dark orange color. I claim that it will yield 
greater bulk and weight for a given length of root than any other 
earrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre of Maule’s Danvers have 
been grown, anda yield of 25to 30 tons per acre is not uncommon. 
This is a widely popular and successful carrot. Packet, 10 cents;

MAULE’S IMPROVED LONG ORANGE.—Mine is, I think, the 
strongest and purest strain of the well-known Long Orange carrot 
on the market. The roots are of large size,and are smooth, fine
