CARROT 
Culture Like other root crops, the carrot likes a rich sandy loam, well tilled. 
For early crops, sow as soon as the ground can be tilled, say in April or early May. For 
late crops, sow in late June or July. Sow the seed a half inch deep in drills 12 inches 
apart, thinning to three inches in the row. Carrot is slow to germinate and the soil must 
therefore be well firmed. One ounce for 100 feet of row; 6 to 8 pounds per acre when 
sowed in one foot drills. 
CHANTENAY The outstanding market garden and home garden sort. It grows 
half-long, stump rooted, and makes a very fine appearance. It is a heavy yielder 
and makes a fine bunching carrot at any time after it has made half of its growth. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 10 lbs. or more @ $1.00 per lb. 
CORELESS CHANTENAY This new strain of Chantenay is quite free from the 
ordinary yellow core, and while the type is not entirely fixed, it is an improve¬ 
ment over the old type as regards core. On account of its tenderness, it is sup¬ 
erior to the usual Chantenay, and promises to become one of the leading varieties 
as soon as it is better known to growers. It is particularly attractive to canners 
and market gardeners, generally bringing a better price on the market due to its 
fine dark red center. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; x /\ lb., 50c; lb., $1.50 
WOODRUFF'S SELECTED DANVERS This is a very fancy selection of the old 
Danvers Half Long. It is only slightly stump-rooted, tapering more than Chan¬ 
tenay. Matures in about 70 days, being therefore about ten days later than 
Chantenay. This strain has proven to be a heavy yielder and makes a fine main 
crop sort. It is smaller in diameter than Chantenay, but is not so apt to split in 
wet weather. Its length is slightly greater than Chantenay. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
J4 lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 
DANVERS HALF LONG This is our regular strain 
of Danvers Half Long or Danvers Improved. The 
characteristics are the same as Woodruff’s Selected 
Danvers, but we have not devoted the time and care 
to selecting this strain as we have our special stock 
of Selected Danvers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 
40c; lb., $1.50. 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE An extremely produc¬ 
tive carrot which often grows to a length of nine or 
ten inches. The roots are a deep orange color, about 
three inches through at the shoulder, and taper evenly 
down to a point. This variety is excellent for table, 
and owing to its size is also favored for stock feed. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
SCARLET NANTES A half-long carrot of practically 
cylindrical shape, tapering very little from shoulder 
down. The carrot is stump rooted, coreless, and 
very fine for forcing. It is an early variety, maturing 
in about 65 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb-, 60c; 
lb., $2.00. 
OXHEART or GUERANDE A short chunky variety 
about as thick as it is long. It is a good keeper and 
is well adapted for growing in stiff, hard soil, where 
others do not thrive. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 30c; 
lb., $1.00. 
ST. VALERY A handsome reddish-orange carrot 
about a foot in length, tapering to a point. As a 
main crop for the table or the field it will give satis¬ 
faction. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25.
