OXHEART OR GUERANDE 
CARROTS ARE THE EASIEST o/ Culture of all vegetables of the garden, requiring a fairly fertile, warm, deep, rather light soil, that should 
be well worked to a good depth. For the earliest crop, seed of the early, short rooted varieties should be sown in April or May in 
drills 2 feet apart and as the seed comes up thinned to 2 inches. For the main crop seed should be sown in May or June, or even in 
July, for a succession, using the longer rooted varieties. These rows should be i6 to 20 inches apart and the plants thinned to 2, 3 or 
even 4 inches, but where carrots are raised for stock the rows should be 2 to 2 feet apart to admit of cultivation by horsepower. In 
sowing the seed the soil should be well firmed down over it, kept free from weeds and cultivated occasionally. The early plants may be har- 
vested as early as July and the later varieties may be easily kept over the winter, but for that purpose it is well to dig them while they 
are growing and not to wait until they ripen and the leaves turn yellow. One ounce of seed will sow ic» feet of drill, or from 3 to 4 
pounds to the acre. Carrots are a profitable crop for stock feeding purposes. 
MAY'S GUERANDE OR OXHEART 
THIS is an excellent variety for soil too hard and stiff for the longer growing sorts. Its 
root is comparatively short though it is in the intermediate cla<ss as to 
length, but it often attains a diameter of 6 inches at the top. The 
flesh is bright orange, finely grained and sweet, and of such excellent 
quality that it is a delicious table carrot as well as splendid food for stock. 
When other carrots require digging Oxheart can be pulled. It is particu- 
larly gnod for home use and early bunching. Packet lOc., ounce 20c, 34- 
potmd 30c.. poiuid 90c. 
danver's half Long 
THIS VARIETY is improved stock of the half-long stump or blunt-rooted 
type and one of the best and most generally satisfactory for field or 
garden use. It thrives in all soils and is an enormous yielder, under 
good cultivation having yielded 25 and 30 tons to the acre. It 
has the smallest length of root of any variety now grown and is ' 
more easily harvested than the longer types. The Carrot is half-long, 
cylindrical in form; very large; a rich, dark orange in color; smooth, vrith 
little core, and flesh very close in texture; crisp and sweet. We would oepccially recom- 
mend this variety for stock feeding as its strength producing qualities are very great. 
Carrots are less liable to disease than many of our root crops, are sown, earlier and 
out of the way before harvest. It is not necessary to store them until late in the 
year. They do not, like the potato, require boiling before feeding. Try a 
small patch for feed. Packet lOc, ounce 15c., }^-poimd 30c., pound 90c.
