Carota (It.) 
An ounce will sow about 300 feet of row. It requires 2 to 4 lbs. of 
seed for an acre , depending on how far the rows are apart. 
Carrots often prove very profitable. They do best on muck or soil 
of that nature, although very good crops are raised on sandy loam. For 
late fall market the seed is usually sown in June or first of July. If small 
carrots for bunching are wanted the seed may be sown as late as August 
1st in the North and later further South. 
New Red Cored Chantenay 
The superior quality of this new carrot has made it rapidly replace 
the old style Chantenay as a market carrot. Our strain of Red Cored 
Chantenay has been constantly improved and will be found to be excep¬ 
tionally fine. It is well over 90% coreless, smoother and more uniform 
than many other strains which we have seen.
