CARROT 



One-half ounce of seed plants 100 feet of drill; 

 21/2 pounds plant an acre 



[Daucus carota.) Native of Europe, probably the British Isles. Our 

 common garden Carrot has probably not been under cultivation for more 

 than 500 years. 



Chantenay 



Days to maturity, 65. Our strain of Chantenay is exceptionally fine 

 and has a brilliant color, fine-textured flesh, is free from fiber, and has a 

 remarkably smooth exterior. It is accurately illustrated in color on this 

 page. There has been some complaint that Chantenay splits in wet 

 weather, and for those who have had that experience we would recom- 

 mend Danvers Half-Long. For a standard midseason Carrot, however, 

 maturing midway between Coreless and Danvers, Chantenay is recom- 

 mended very highly. Our strain has a small top, finely cut shoulders, 

 and tapers but slightly. The uniformity of shape and color of this 

 stock will be a satisfaction to all who plant it. Price, delivered: Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4^.b. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. or more, $1.15 per lb. 



Coreless 



Days to maturity, 60. This, perhaps, is the most delicately flavored 

 Carrot that we offer. It is a comparatively quick grower, so that the 

 texture of the root is more delicate, the good feature of it being that it is 

 almost completely free from the rather hard core usually found in the 

 other varieties. In length it will run from 4 to 6 inches. W e firmly 

 believe that the Core- 



less type will become 

 increasingly popular, 

 especially with the de- 

 velopment of roadside 

 markets, for there is 

 little comparison be- 

 tween the table quality 

 of this Carrot and 

 Chantenay or Dan- 

 vers. Commercially, 

 it may not have the 

 classic lines of Chan- 

 tenay, but it is the 

 quality of the flesh and 

 the flavor which is 

 served to the public, 

 tually, buyers on the produce 

 become aware of this 

 not buy solely on ap- 

 pearances. Price, delivered: Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. or 

 more, $1.15 per lb. 



Chantenay 

 Carrot 



markets wil 

 fact and 



Danvers Half-Long 



Days to maturity, 75. This variety shares almost 

 equal popularity with Chantenay in the commercial 

 field. Its real place is as a late fall Carrot, very often 

 sold, with the tops removed, in barrels The advantage 

 of Danvers over Chantenay is that it is slightly larger, 

 does not throw side roots after reaching maturity, 

 which is a tendency of Chantenay, and will not split 

 in wet weather. In shape it is quite similar to Chan- 

 tenay except that it is more pointed at the root and 

 has a larger shoulder. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 15 cts.; Vilb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. or more, 

 $1.15 per lb.
