Carrots have long been recognized as one of the most healthful vegetables grown, and 
now since the introduction of such varieties as Tendersweet, Red Cored Chantenay, Perfec¬ 
tion, Nantes, etc., our ideas of how carrots should taste have been greatly changed. Those 
who have grown these high quality kinds find carrots to be a really delicious vegetable. A 
few rows will supply all you want, as you can thin out the small ones for early use and let the 
rest grow for fall and winter. 
Carrots can be sown from early spring to the middle of summer. The earlier they are 
sown the larger the crop as a rule, but late sowings produce nice carrots for fall. 
Carrots for Fall. If Nantes or Coreless Carrots are sown in August and not thinned too 
much they will make carrots about the size of one’s finger for fall use. These are extremely 
delicious either cooked whole with butter sauce, or served raw when small. 
Carrots for Feeding. Carrots are of a high value for feeding cows, horses and sheep, 
and as very large crops can be grown on a small piece of ground, it pays remarkably well to 
raise at least a small plot of them every year. They are of great benefit to cows and horses 
in the fall and winter. Two of the best varieties for this purpose are Danvers Half-Long 
and Mastodon or White Vosges. 
COLLARDS 
Georgia. Has large cabbage like leaves, which grow loosely on stems 2% 
to 3 ft. tall. It does not form heads but the leaves are used. It is

PERFECTION. A new larger and better Coreless Carrot. This excellent carrot is 
becoming increasingly popular for fall crops, both for home use and market. The 
carrots resemble Amsterdam Forcing in shape, but are nearly two inches longer, and are 
very smooth and symmetrical. There is no “core” as the deep orange color extends 
right through to the center. The quality of Perfection is very fine. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; Vi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.95. 
IMPERATOR. This is the fine quality bunching carrot that comes into our markets from 
California. The roots average about 8 in. long, are somewhat tapering, of deep orange 
color which extends right to the center, and with a very small core. The tops are just 
right for bunching.

NANTES, CORELESS. This is one of the best of the “ coreless” varieties and is particu¬ 
larly valuable for the home garden and as a bunching kind for market. The roots are 
7 to 8 in. long, the same size the whole length, smooth and stump rooted making it 
very attractive when bunched. The color is deep orange which extends through the 
whole root without a light colored “core.” A very fine variety for roadside sales. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.50. 
CHANTENAY. (Special Strain.) This is the most popular carrot for general use and 
market. The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, tapering only slightly and are quite stump- 
rooted. The color is deep orange and the roots are fine grained, smooth as a bottle and 
of fine quality. We offer a very uniform strain of this variety which grows an inch longer 
than the usual Chantenay. Growers find this to be a fine bunching carrot. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25. 
DANVERS HALF LONG. The roots taper a little more at the bottom 
than the old strain of Chantenay and grow about 1 inch longer, being 7 
to 8 inches in length. This variety is valuable for stock feeding as well as 
for market. Very heavy yields are often obtained, a thousand bushels per 
acre being not at all unusual. Our stock is the most uniform obtainable.

HUTCHINSON. We are pleased to offer seed of the true Hutchinson 
strain which is so popular in New England. This is a large and very pro¬ 
ductive carrot and especially valuable for busheling. The roots are 8 to 
10 inches long, nearly the same size the whole length, stump rooted and 
of a bright orange color.
