Chantenay Carrots 
Carrots For Garden and Fa 
One package of seed will sow 50 to 60 feet of row; 1 ounce, 100 feet; 
about 3 pounds, an acre 
Any good land, thoroughly worked, will produce 
a satisfactory crop of Carrots. Sow as early in 
spring as possible, though good crops may be grown 
from seed sown as late as the middle of June. For 
table use, sow smaller kinds early, in rows 16 inches 
apart; for field-growing, in drills, 18 to 24 inches 
apart. Cover 34 to 1 inch deep and press soil down 
firmly above the seed. Thin 2 to 6 inches apart, 
according to size of variety. When preparing 
Carrots for the table, wash and scrape them, never 
peel; the best flavor and color are near the skin. 
IMPERATOR. A new Carrot 7 to 8 inches long, 
with a very smooth skin and deep orange flesh 
all the way through. For home-gardens, 
market growers and shippers, Imperator 
stands at the top. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 lb. 
50c; lb. $1.65. 
CORELESS CHANTENAY. This new Carrot, 
6 to 7 inches long, with its bright orange flesh 
that shows no yellow core, tender, sweet and 
juicy all the way through, smooth skin, 
short top, and splendid appearance will soon 
be a very popular home-garden variety. Pkg. 
10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 45c; lb. $1.45. 
Early French Forcing or Short Horn. For those 
who want a very early, fancy, tender, round, 
sweet Carrot for forcing or for early growing 
outside, this cannot be equaled. Pkg. 10c; 
oz. 15c; 14 lb. 45c; lb. $1.45. 
NANTES CORELESS. A particularly fine Carrot for table 
use, as it is not only very sweet and tender and of mild 
flavor, but is unusually free from any core. It is 7 to 8 inches 
in length, shaped like a cylinder, blunt-pointed, and very 
smooth. Its rich orange-red color makes it very attractive. 
We recommend Nantes for your garden. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 
34 lb. 60c; lb. $2. 
Guerande or Oxheart. A good variety on soils too hard and 
stiff for the longer-rooted kinds. It is 4 to 5 inches long, very 
thick, ending in a small tap-root, bright orange, fine¬ 
grained, and sweet. When young, desirable for table use; 
when mature, for stock-feeding. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 
40c; lb. $1.25. 
Tendersweet. A sweet, tender, brittle Carrot about 9 inches 
long that tapers from a sloping shoulder to a blunt end. The 
bright orange flesh is of exceptional quality. A splendid 
home-garden and market variety. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 lb. 50c. 
Danvers Half-Long, H. & V. Special Strain. A wonderfully 
productive, second-early Carrot for the home-garden and for 
market. Adapts itself to all classes of soil. A deep orange, 
tender Carrot of good quality, 7 to 8 inches long, with a

shaped, 5 inches long, tender, mild, and sweet. An ideal 
Carrot for the table. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 lb. 60c; lb. $2. 
Improved Long Orange. This late Carrot is very large, often 
12 inches in length, 3 inches thick at crown, and tapering 
to a point. Very productive, and, while most valuable for 
feeding stock, it is also good for table use when young. Pkg. 
10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 35c; lb. $1.15. 
Large White Belgian. A heavy-yielding, thick Carrot which 
should be harvested before frost. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb.

Cauliflower 
One package of seed will produce 200 plants; 
1 ounce, about 3000 plants 
For early Cauliflower, sow seed under glass in 
January or February and transplant to coldframes, 
2 to 3 inches apart each way. Set in open ground 
early in the spring in rich, warm, moist soil. Water 
freely in dry weather, especially when plants are 
heading. For main crop, sow seed in June; set out 
your plants the latter part of July. After heads have 
begun to form, draw leaves over and tie to protect 
from the sun and to keep them white. Cut while 
heads are compact and firm. Protect from insects 
by dusting or spraying with tobacco dust or kero¬ 
sene emulsion. 
SNOWDRIFT. A new, early variety which makes a 
larger head than Snowball. The head has unusual 
depth, is of fine texture, and blanches very easily. 
Pkg. 25c; 34 oz. $1. 
PIONEER. During the season of 1933 this variety 
attracted a great deal of attention in our fields, 
and proved to be one of the best early varieties we 
have ever seen. It is midway between Snowdrift 
and early Snowball, therefore we suggest planting 
a small plot of both of these new introductions. 
Pkg. 20c; 34 oz. 60c; 34 oz. $1- 
Purple. Distinct from other Cauliflower in that the 
heads have a pronounced purple color. It grows 
readily, making strong, disease-free plants, and 
the heads do not require blanching. The taste is 
similar to green broccoli. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz - 50c; 
34 oz. 85c. 
EARLY SNOWBALL. An extremely early, dwarf 
variety, most desirable for the home-garden. 
Admirably adapted for forcing or wintering over 
for early crop; also one of the best for late summer 
or fall crop. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz. 75c; 34 oz. $1.25. 
Extra-Early Dwarf Erfurt. Medium-early. Gives 
excellent results in home- and market-gardens. 
Similar in most respects to Early Snowball. Pkg. 
10c; }4 oz. 65c; 34 oz. $1-10. 
Dry Weather or Danish Giant. This fine variety is 
especially adapted for growing in sections sub¬ 
jected to long, dry seasons and will produce large, 
solid, pure white heads of delicious flavor in spite 
of lack of moisture. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz. 75c; 34 oz. 
$1.25. 
Chervil 
One ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of row 
An easily grown and useful vegetable whose 
aromatic leaves are used for garnishing and for 
flavoring soups and salads. Sow any time in the 
spring, in rows 1 foot apart. Cultivate like parsley. 
Moss Curled. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 lb. 50c.
