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. 
On light soils the color will not be as good as on richer, heavier soils containing more mineral elements. For an early supply, sow seeds 
of early sorts, like Dreer’s Perfect Forcing, Oxheart, etc., 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 grow- 
ing firm fleshed varieties like Danvers, Rubicon, etc., any time during May. These varieties require all season to reach [ull size for winter 
storage. For a fall supply of crisp, tender roots, sow Chantenay any time up to July 15th. The very 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.

Chantenay. This is 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. 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 handsome, 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. Pkt., 
10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; } lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 
240 Dreer’s Perfect Forcing. 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 product it is hardly noticeable. It is not particular as to soil and yields splendid 
crops under ordinary home garden conditions. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 0z., 15 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 
11b., 70 cts.; Ib., $2.25. 2

in shape, about 2 inches long and deep through, of reddish-orange color and excellent flavor.

244 Early Scarlet Horn. May be planted very early in spring, and is

+ Ib., 40-cts.; lb., $1.25.
