CARROT 



Zanahoria, Sp. 

 Mohre, Ger. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. 

 CULTURE — One of the few crops that will do well in all soils although a good deep, friable loam will produce the best looking 

 roots. For an early supply, sow seeds of early sorts, as soon as the soil can be dug, placing rows 18 to 24 inches apart and thinning out 

 seedlings to stand 2 to 3 inches apart in the row. Make repeated sowings every 2 weeks. For a winter supply, sow the larger growing 

 firm fleshed varieties like Danvers, Rubicon, etc., any time during May. The much larger stock varieties should be thinned out to stand 

 6 to 8 inches apart in rows, 2| to 3 feet apart. Varieties marked with a star are the best for stock feeding. 



232 Chantenay . This is a large thick carrot, stump-rooted and 

 slightly tapered towards the bottom and the skin is very 

 smooth, orange-red in color, making it of very attractive 

 appearance. The quality is most excellent, being very crisp, 

 tender and of an extra fine flavor. Grow a few rows of this for 

 winter use, as it will store well in a cool dry place. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; | lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



234 Danver's Half-long Orange. More extensively grown 

 than any other. Of rich orange-red color, smooth and hand- 

 some, the 6 or 7 inch roots taper to a blunt point and are sweet, 

 crisp and tender. Produces more bulk to the acre than the 

 larger, longer varieties. This is also a good sort for the home 

 gardener to grow, for storing over winter. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 20 cts.; I lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



238 *Long Orange, Nichol's Improved. Color deep orange, 

 and when small it may be used for the table, but mostly grown 

 to full size for stock feeding. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 

 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



23 6 Oxheart,orGuerande. Good on soils too hard and stiff for 

 longer-growing sorts. Root short, very thick and heavy, with 

 small tap-root; flesh is a bright orange color, fine grained and 

 of sweet flavor. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 40 cts.; lb., 



$1.25. 



240 Perfect Forcing, Dreer's. Easily one of the most popular 

 of the early carrots, equally useful for the outdoor garden as 

 well as growing under glass. It is a fine, half long variety 

 of most symmetrical shape, uniform size, and has a remarkably 

 small top. Of attractive bright scarlet color, crisp, and with a 

 singularly small core, so small in fact that in the young prod- 

 uct it is hardly noticeable. Pkt., 10 cts.; 5 oz., 15 cts.; oz., 

 25 cts.; IVa., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25.
