CARROT 
Culture Like other root crops, the carrot likes a rich sandy loam, well tilled. For early crops, sow as soon as the ground 
can be tilled, say in April or early May. For late crops, sow in late June or July. Sow the seed a half inch deep in drills 12 
inches apart, thinning to three inches in the row. Carrot is slow to germinate and the soil must therefore be well firmed. One 
ounce for 100 feet of row; 6 to 8 pounds per acre when sowed in one foot drills. 
CHANTENAY The outstanding market garden and home garden 
sort. It grows half-long, stump rooted, and makes a very fine 
appearance. It is a heavy yielder and makes a fine bunching 
carrot at any time after it has made half of its growth. Pkt., 
10c; oz, 15c; J4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 10 lbs. or more @ $1.00 
per pound. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY This new strain of Chantenay is quite 
free from the ordinary yellow core, an improvement over the 
old type. On account of its tenderness, it is superior to the 
usual Chantenay, and promises to become one of the leading 
varieties as soon as it is better known to growers. It is partic¬ 
ularly attractive to canners and market gardeners, generally 
bringing a better price on the market due to its fine dark red 
center. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb-, 50c; lb., $1.50. 
WOODRUFF'S SELECTED DANVERS This is a very fancy selec¬ 
tion of the old Danvers Half Long. It is only slightly stump- 
rooted, tapering more than Chantenay. Matures in about 70 
days, being therefore about ten days later than Chantenay. This 
strain has proven to be a heavy yielder and makes a fine main 
crop sort. It is smaller in diameter than Chantenay, but is not 
so apt to split in wet weather. Its length is slightly greater than 
Chantenay. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 
Scarlet Nantes Carrot 
DANVERS HALF LONG This is our regular strain 
of Danvers Half Long or Danvers Improved. The 
characteristics are the same as Woodruff’s Selected 
Danvers, but we have not devoted the time and care 
to selecting this strain as we have our special stock 
of Selected Danvers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 
40c; lb., $1.50. 
SCARLET NANTES A half-long carrot of practically 
cylindrical shape, tapering very little from shoulder 
down. The carrot is stump rooted, coreless, and 
very fine for forcing. It is an early variety, maturing 
in about 65 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., 60c; 
lb, $2.00. 
OXHEART or GUERANDE A short chunky variety about 
as thick as it is long. It is a good keeper and is well adapted 
for growing in stiff, hard soil, where others do not thrive. 
Pkt, 10c; oz, 15c; lb, 30c; lb, $1.00.
