Carrots have long been recognized as one of the most healthful vegetables grown, and now since 
the introduction of such varieties as Tendersweet, Red Cored Chantenay, Perfection, Nantes, etc., our 
ideas of how carrots taste have been greatly changed. Grow some of these high quality kinds and 
you will find carrots to be a really delicious vegetable. A few rows will supply all you want, as you 
can thin out the small ones for early use and let the rest grow for fall and winter. 
Carrots can be sown from early spring to the middle of summer. The earlier they are sown the 
larger the crop as a rule, but late sowings produce nice carrots for table use or market in the fall. 
Carrots for Fall. If Coreless Carrots are sown in August and not thinned too much they will make 
carrots about the size of one’s finger for fall use. These are extremely delicious either cooked whole 
with butter sauce, or scraped and served raw. 
Carrots for Feeding. Carrots are of a high value for feeding cows, horses and sheep, and as very 
large crops can be grown on a small piece of ground, it pays remarkably well to raise at least a small 
plot of them every year. They are of great benefit to cows and horses in the fall and winter. Two of 
the best varieties for this purpose are Danvers Half-Long and Mastodon or White Vosges. 
CHANTENAY. (Special Strain). This is the 
most popular carrot for general use and mar¬ 
ket. The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, taper¬ 
ing only slightly, being quite stump-rooted at 
the bottom. The color is deep orange and the 
roots are fine grained, smooth as a bottle and 
of fine quality. We offer a very uniform strain 
of this variety which grows an inch longer than 
the usual Chantenay. Growers find this to be a 
fine bunching carrot.

TENDERSWEET. See page 10. This new carrot 
is fast becoming one of the most popular vari¬ 
eties for home and market. It is sweeter, and 
of better quality than any carrot we know.

RED CORED CHANTENAY. See page 11. 
The new “ coreless” strain of Chantenay which 
is being so widely grown because of its very 
fine quality and attractive appearance.

PERFECTION. A new larger and better 
Coreless Carrot. This excellent carrot is be¬ 
coming increasingly popular for fall crops, both 
for home use and market. The carrots resemble 
Amsterdam Forcing in shape, but are nearly 
two inches longer, and are very smooth and 
symmetrical. There is no “core” as the 
deep orange color extends right thru to the 
center. The quality of Perfection is very fine.

IMPERATOR. A fine new bunching carrot. 
The roots average about 8 in. long, are some¬ 
what tapering of deep orange color which ex¬ 
tends right to the center, with a very small 
core. The tops are just right for bunching. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.65. 
Amsterdam Forcing. Coreless. Very tender, 
of mild flavor, and without any hard core. 
The shape is ideal for a table carrot being prac¬ 
tically the same size from crown to bottom. 
The tops are small and the carrots mature 
early. This is an excellent kind for the home 
garden and for forcing in frames.

Early French Short Horn. Roots are almost 
round, being almost as thick through as long, 
and are of good deep orange color. Our seed is 
of the finest strain for hothouse use.

Chantenay Carrots 
(Special Strain) 
Oxheart, or Guerande. A short thick carrot 
to 5 inches long and often nearly as large 
around as it is long. Excellent for table use or 
bunching for market. Matures early. Can be 
easily pulled by hand and yields nearly as 
much as the longer varieties.

Long Orange. We have a fine strain of this vari¬ 
ety. The roots are long, but not too tapering 
and are smooth and straight. An immense 
yielder and is used considerably for stock 
feeding. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 12c; Vi lb. 30c; lb. $1.00. 
Mastodon, or White Vosges. A large white 
carrot for stock. The roots grow very large, but 
being thick and not too long, they can be easily 
pulled. We think this variety will yield more 
good, nutritious carrots per acre than any 
other variety.

NANTES. Coreless. This is one of the best 
“coreless” varieties and is particularly valuable 
for bunching. The roots are 7 to 8 in. long, the 
same size the whole length, smooth and stump 
rooted making it very attractive when bunch¬ 
ed. The color is deep orange which extends 
through the whole root without a light colored 
“core.” A very fine variety for roadside sales.

DANVERS HALF LONG. The roots taper a 
little more at the bottom than the old strain of 
Chantenay and grow about 1 inch longer, be¬ 
ing 7 to 8 inches in length. This variety is valu¬ 
able for stock feeding as well as for market. 
Very heavy yields are often obtained, a thou¬ 
sand bushels per acre being not at all unusual.

HUTCHINSON. A large and very productive 
carrot of fine quality, especially valuable for 
busheling. The roots are 8 to 10 inches long,
