"I have pulled up Scarlet Perfection Carrot in thinning 
out the bed well over a pound in weight, straight as a 
dart and tender as butter.” — E. J. Crawshew, Esq. 
Carter’s Blood Red. — This Carrot is quite 
distinct, and has many good and new 
qualities. It has a depth of colour not 
hitherto seen in Carrots, the texture of its 
flesh, while solid and crisp, is most tender, 
and entirely loses the pithy heart found in 
many large-growing varieties. It has hand- 
some long roots. 
Price, .15 per pkt. ; .SOperoz.; 1.85 per Y lb. 
Carter’s Reselected Danvers Half Long. — This superior strain of seed is the result of years of careful 
study and by rigorous selection under the well-known “Carter” Method. All roots intended to be 
grown on for seed production arc specially cultivated on our farms, and suitable roots are selected 
by our expert, under the immediate supervision of our principal, for further laboratory tests for 
percentage of food solids, size, and density. If the roots pass our standard they become the “mother 
roots” from which the succeeding season’s supply of seed is harvested. By a continual resclcction 
on the above-described lines we are this spring able to offer to our customers the heaviest cropping, 
best sized and shaped strain of the Danvers Half Long Carrot ever placed before the public. 
Price, .10 per pkt.; .40 per oz.; 1.60 per Y Ik.; 5.50 per lb.
