Carrots 
Culture. The Carrot will do well in any good, well-worked soil. For early 
use, sow the seed when the apple is in bloom, in rows fifteen inches apart, 
and when two inches high thin out so that the plants stand four inches 
apart in the row. For fall and winter use, sow from the 1st to 15th of 
June. 
IMPERATOR. Bred for the critical market garden and shipping trade. 
It has already made a large place for itself in the primary markets. In 
appearance, it is sleek. 7 to 8 inches in length, with rounded shoulders, 
and just enough top to bunch well, it fills the demand for a longer Carrot. 
Its color is appealing, the deep orange of the exterior extends through¬ 
out the interior flesh and indistinct core. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; 
lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
CHANTENAY. (65 days). Chantenay may be considered the standard 
Carrot for all general purposes. It is nearly two weeks earlier than Dan¬ 
vers Half-Long, and is slightly shorter and more stump-rooted than that 
variety. Its average length will be four and one-half inches, tapering 
slightly from well set shoulders. The surface is smooth and a deep or¬ 
ange color, the flesh very crisp and tender, a much desired sort where 
quality is considered. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
15c; V* lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY. (65 days). 
A Carrot with the shape and size and 
general characteristics of Chantenay 
but apparently coreless, since the core, 
being same color as the flesh, is incon¬ 
spicuous. It is tender and sweet and 
very dark orange in color. Does not 
cook yellow. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 
40c; lb., $1.25, postpaid. 
CORELESS. (65 days). A half-long, 
cylindrical, blunt-pointed variety, with 
a very small tap-root and small, fine 
top. The shape and size are extremely 
uniform, averaging 6 to 7 inches in 
length and 1 % inches in diameter, 
clean skinned, smooth, and easily 
pulled. The flesh is very fine-grained, 
absolutely without any woody heart or 
core, and entirely free from stringi¬ 
ness. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., 40c; 
lb., $1.25, postpaid. 
NANTES HALF-LONG. (65 days). Adapt¬ 
ed for frame use. The smooth root is 
cylindrical with blunted end and of 
a bright orange color. The flesh is 
red, sweet, mild, and almost core¬ 
less. Top is small and short. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; V* lb., 40c; lb., $1.25, 
postpaid.

ange-yellow. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V4

DANVERS HALF-LONG. (80

two weeks later in reaching matur¬ 
ity. The average diameter of the 
root is slightly smaller than Chan¬ 
tenay. The color is a rich, deep or¬ 
ange. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V4 lb., 35c;
