Red Cored Chantenay: L 0 up ays comiLTes ne use an a 
large proportion of the late carrot crop of New York State. They 
want a large chunky carrot of the Chantenay type but have al¬ 
ways objected to the light colored core. Red Cored Chantenay is a 
strain of this old variety having a core practically as dark in color as 
the surrounding meat. The core is also less woody than some of the 
old strains. The roots are 5H to 6 inches long, 2% inches thick at 
the top. Stump rooted, deep orange flesh. Not a good bunching 
variety. Pkt. $.08; oz. $.15; }4 lb- $-35; lb. $1.15.

QrmwV»a11 • (Seed hot water treated.) This is the standard 
OllU W Odll . variety for the Northeastern States. We have 
sold the mid-season strain for several years under the name of 
"Finger Lakes Snowball.” In our trial grounds we have had very 
few plants that did not produce a marketable head. This is also 
true of the fields we have inspected where our seed was used. This 
year we have added an earlier strain of the same variety. It does 
not produce quite as large a head as the midseason strain but 
matures a week to ten days earlier. 
When ordering specify whether you desire "Early” or "Mid- 
season” Strain. Pkt. $.15; y oz. $.60; oz. $1.90; y lb. $6.25; 
lb. $22.00.
