CARROTS 
To have carrots throughout the season, make repeated plant¬ 
ings. Put the rows 24 inches apart and as soon as the seedlings are 
3 or 4 inches tall, they should be thinned out to stand 3 inches apart 
in the row. 
Winter Keeper Beet 
At last we are able to introduce a CARROT that is absolutely WITHOUT A CORE. A Carrot that is 
as TENDER when boiled as a sweet potato. A Carrot with a DELICATE FLAVOR of its own. This is 
such a great improvement over the other Carrots that we predict its GENERAL USE in a few years. To 
get rid of the hard center or CORE of the Carrot has been the dream of the VEGETABLE EDISONS for 
a long while. We assure you that this dream is now a REALITY. It not only has no core but is more 
TASTY than any Carrot we have eaten. One packet will convince you. We suggest that you use no other 
kind for your ENTIRE CROP this spring. Needs no more care than other Carrots.
