CARROT 
CULTURE—Carrots may be planted from March to June. We prefer to plant from May 10 to 25; 
they will then miss many of the spring weeds and will stand through the dry season better, making a 
better quality of roots. Those who plant any quantity should use a good drill, as it lessens the work and 
gives a more even stand. As soon as they are up, use a wheel hoe, following this with a harrow tooth 
cultivator. Plant one-half to one inch, according to weather conditions. 
PRICES—Unless otherwise stated, prices are uni¬ 
formly as follows: Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % Ik. 40c; 
lb. $1.00. E. or F., lb. 95c; 5 lbs. or more @ 90c. 
TABLE GEM—We believe this to be the finest of 
all table carrots. The roots are 5 to 6 inches long, 
of even diameter with blunt points. It is nearly 
coreless, exceptionally tender and sweet and is de¬ 
licious eaten raw. It is very early and the tops 
are small. It is suited for forcing or outside cul¬ 
ture. The high quality makes it ideal for home 
gardens, public markets and roadside stands. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 25c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 
IMPERATOR — A new market carrot. Roots 
long, stump rooted; smooth and of rich red color 
with small core. 
DANVER’S HALF LONG—The standard stock 
carrot, but we do not recommend it for table use 
as compared to the Chantenay. It is a heavy crop¬ 
per. Our strain is extra good. 
CHANTENAY—A good all around carrot. The 
roots are very smooth, stump-rooted and somewhat 
thicker at the tops. It is early and produces im¬ 
mense crops; records of 50 tons per acre have been 
secured. It will stand more crowding than any 
other sort. On account of its heavy production and 
superior quality it is also grown for feeding. 
GILL’S SPECIAL NANTES—The roots are bright 
orange, 5 to 6 inches long and very uniform. They 
have a very small, core and are exceptionally ten¬ 
der and sweet. The roots are rather slender, of even 
diameter and of early maturity. Very desirable for 
market, especially for bunching, and also splendid 
for the home garden. We offer a fine re-selected 
strain grown from our stock seed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
20c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.00. E. or F., lb. 95c. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN—Very early with small 
tops. Bright orange red; three inches long and top 
shaped. A valuable first early sort. 
FRENCH FORCING — Extra early, with round, 
orange red roots. Small tops. 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN — Long-rooted white 
stock carrot; very heavy yielder. 
Carrot, Oregon Chantenay 
OREGON CHANTENAY — A special strain of 
our own selection, producing very smooth roots 
about one inch longer than the regular strain and 
of more even diameter the whole length of the 
carrot. It is very popular with gardeners. The 
best carrot for bunching and is rapidly taking the 
lead wherever tried. The tops are of medium size, 
tough and wiry, hence the carrots seldom break 
from the bunches. The roots are deep red color 
with small core. Very high quality. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.10. 
SWEET CORN 
The first requisite for success with com is acclimated seed—Note those with star. 
CULTURE—Prices paid for first early com will pay the grower to take chances on early planting. 
For this planting use 4 to 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches, and rows 
3% feet, allowing two stalks to the hill, or as some prefer, and we think this gives the best results, plant 
15 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk; this gives all the stalks an even show. April 1 to May 1 
is a good season for early corn, of course, depending on the weather. May 15th to 25th is good for the 
later sorts as they do not resist damp, cold weather so well as the early sorts. 
Corn will not fill well unless the patch planted is blocked out; those planting small quantities 
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This will permit the pollen to blow down on the silk, fer¬ 
tilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in succession up to June 25. Use Garden Grow fertilizer. 
*GOLDEN GEM—A new first early variety with 
outstanding quality. Eight to ten rows of rich 
golden grains. Medium sized ears on small 
stalks. A few days earlier than Golden Early 
Market. The quality is equal to Golden Bantam. 
Requires rich soil for best results. Pkt. 10c; % lb. 
20c; lb. 35c. E. or F., lb. 25c; 10 lbs. @ 20c. 
♦GILL’S EARLY GOLDEN SWEET—Earliest of 
the golden varieties with medium large ears of high¬ 
est quality. Averages twelve rows of kernels to 
the ear. Ears average about the same size as 
Improved Bantam with stalks three and one half 
feet tall. We recommend this for market and 
home gardens. The sweetest first early variety 
we have tested. Pkt. 10c; % lb. 25c; lb. 40c. E. 
or F., lb. 30c; 10 lbs. @ 25c. 
♦GILL’S GOLDEN EARLY MARKET—The earliest 
large, true sweet corn of golden color. It is a 
cross between our Improved Golden Bantam and 
Early White Market. Just as early as Early White 
Market and of better quality. According to our 
own trials and reports from all over the country, 
it is earlier and larger than Golden Sunshine. It 
is the outstanding early corn and is a money¬ 
maker for gardeners. The stalks grow taller and 
more vigorous than Early Market, while the ears 
are larger. For home use or market be sure to plant 
this variety. It matures two weeks earlier than 
Improved Gwlden Bantam. Large, golden ears, 
tightly filled with large sweet grains of high qual¬ 
ity. Pkt. 10c; 1/2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c. E. or F., lb. 
25c; 10 lbs. @ 17c; 25 lbs. @ 16c; 100 lbs. @ 15c. 
Customers paying by Post Office Money Order or Express Money Order, may select 10c extra in seeds.
