CARROT. 



Mohren, Ger. Carotte, Fr. Zonahoria, Sp. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill ; three to four 

 pounds for one acre. 



CaiTots, to grow in perfection, require a rich, deep, 

 sandy loam, well pulverized and deeply cultivated. For 

 an early crop sow in May and June in drills about 1 foot 

 apart, thinning out to 4 inches in the row ; sow for main 

 crop in June and July. The large late varieties for field 

 culture should be sown in drills 3 to Z\ feet apart, so as to 

 cultivate by horse. An important point in sowing carrots, 

 as in all other seeds, is to tread the row firmly after sowing. 

 Varieties marked "*" are the best varieties for stock feeding. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; 1 lb., 80 cts., except 

 where noted. 



Earliest Short Horn {Fiench I-o?citig). The earliest forc- 

 ing variety, root small, reddish-orange, of globular shape and ex- 

 cellent flavor. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 

 Early Scarlet Horn. The favorite early red summer variety ; 



fine grained and good flavor. 

 Half-LiOng' IN'antes. An excellent early half-long stump- 

 rooted variety of superior quality. Tops medium size, roots 

 cylindrical, smooth, bright orange; flesh orange shading to 

 yellow in centre, but no core. This is one of the best of the 

 medium size carrots. 

 Cliantenay Half-Long-. Resembling the Nantes, with 

 larger shoulder. Medium early and heavy cropper ; one of the 

 best for market and private use. 

 Guerande, or Oxlieart. A desirable variety on soils too 

 hard and stiff for the longer-growing sorts, as it is not over 5 or 

 6 inches long ; can be pulled by hand. 

 Early Half-Long- Carentan. An excellent scarlet variety, 

 without core, for forcing or the open ground. Tops very small, 

 roots cylindrical with very small neck. This variety can be sown 

 very thick. 

 Early Half-Long Scarlet. A desirable point-root sort, 

 productive and early, coming in between the Scarlet Horn and 

 Long Orange. 



*Danver's Half-Long Orange (see cut). A rich orange -red variety, very smooth and handsome, producing very large 

 crops. An excellent market variety. Tops are of medium size, and coarsely divided. The roots taper to a blunt point ; 

 flesh sweet, crisp and tender. Although the roots of this variety grow shorter, it produces more bulk to the acre than the larger 

 field varieties, and is easier harvested. 

 Improved Rubicon Carrot (see cut). This beautiful half-long carrot was originated in Connecticut by a reliable grower. 

 It is the result of careful breeding, and in shape and color most desirable. Our engraving was made from a photograph of three 

 typical specimens, and are the originator's ideal shape. The carrots grow about same length as the well-known Danvers, but 

 thicker, and are a rich dark orange in color. It is an enormous cropper and a splendid variety for the market gardener. Pkt., 

 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., ,30 cts.; lb., 85 cts.

fine shape and quality. It has scarcely any neck and very short top. It is also a good variety for forcing. 

 St. Valery. A desirable sort for private gardens; of rich orange color and fine flavor. The roots grow very uniform and 



large size, measuring 10 to 12 inches in length and 2 to 3 inches in diameter at top, and taper gradually. 

 ■''^Long Orange. The best late variety for general field culture. It is an excellent keeper and retains its bright orange color 



during the winter. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 20 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 

 *Altringbam. A large and fine flavored red carrot ; an excellent sort for winter use. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; J lb., 20 cts ;
