Nutritious Carrots 
Carrots contain large amounts of those elements which the human body 
needs for health and strength. They require about the same simple care as 
beets, they have no serious insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked 
by disease. Since freshly manurd soil often causes divided roots, it is best 
to plant them in soil that has been richly fertilized the previous season. 
Plant the seed one-half inch deep in loose, well prepared soil, making rows 
1 6 to 24 inches apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants are well established 
and thin to 2 or 4 inches in the row according to the size of the variety. 
Plantings may be made from early spring until mid-June. For winter 
storage the later date is advisable. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY 
70 days. New and very greatly improved selection. Identical in size and 
form with the Chantenay but its deep orange-red color goes through to 
the very center. The yellow rind usually found around the core of carrots 
has been bred out in this new variety and a much sweeter, richer flavor 
has been acquired, enough to fully establish its superiority. The superb 
color, fine quality, crispness and heavy yield all combined will undoubtedly 
make this the most popular carrot variety on the list as soon as it be¬ 
comes known. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., Va lb. 40 cts., 1 lb. $1.25.
