Choicest Carrots for 
Garden and Market 
! For several generations the Carrot has been one of 
the common garden vegetables, but only in recent years 
has it come to be recognized as one of our most nutri- 
j tious and wholesome foods. Health authorities assert 
that Carrots contain in high degree those elements 
! which constitute a nourishing article of diet. The plant 
. has no serious insect enemies and is rarely subject to 
disease. The culture of Carrots is easy, being prac- 
tically the same as that of beets. When practicable it is 
best to plant them in soil that has been richly fertilized 
the previous season. Freshly manured soil will often 
produce divided roots. Plant the seed one-half inch deep 
in loose, well prepared soil, making rows 16 to 24 inches 
apart. Cultivate as soon as the plants are well established 
and thin to 2 to 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. 
CHANTENAY. A half-long variety most extensively 
used for the home garden. It is medium early, matur¬ 
ing in about 60 days. This sort is very productive and 
easy to harvest. The root is smooth, deep orange- 
red, uniformly stumped but slightly tapered, and 
about 5'/2 inches long. The crisp, tender and finely 
, ' flavored quality makes it most suitable for table use 
in early maturity. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; M lb., 40c; 
lb., $1.25. 
DANVERS HALF LONG. A well known rich orange- 
red variety, very smooth and handsome, producing 
extra heavy crops. An excellent market variety; 
crisp, sweet and tender, Although the roots are short, 
they produce as large a bulk as the longer field sorts 
and are more easily harvested. This variety has yield¬ 
ed 25 tons per acre. We have given this our special 
attention and offer at this time as good strain of 
seed as is possible to obtain. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M
