Three Ounces of Seed will sow 100 Yards of Row; 4 lbs. for an Acre 
For domestic use sow when the Apple is in bloom or as soon as the ground is workable. Drill in rows 
of fifteen inches for hand culture, two and a half feet for field culture, and when two inches high thin to two 
to three inches apart. Carrots for the table should be used when half grown because they are more tender. 
Chantenay Half-Long Scarlet or Model—70 Days 
Roots about 5 to 6 inches in length, 2 to 2 \ inches thick at the crown. Small 
top set in a slight depression. Color deep orange red. Smooth tapering. A fine 
medium early, half long, stump rooted Carrot. One of the best for Market 
Gardens or Private use. 
Chantenay Red Cored or Coreless Half-Long—70 Days 
An improvement on the Chantenay. Its core being indistinct. Roots 5 to 6 
inches long, 2 \ inches in thickness at shoulder, flesh reddish orange, tender, 
delicate flavor. Same size and shape as Chantenay. 
Early Scarlet Horn Blunt-Rooted or Dutch Horn—60 Days 
A very popular early sort. Roots a trifle less than 3 inches long; inches at 
the shoulder and almost that wide at the base where it is decidedly stump rooted. 
Color bright orange scarlet. 
Imperator—76 Days 
A new introduction. Tops medium size but large enough for bunching. Length 
of root 7 to 8 inches. Indistinct core. Diameter of shoulder 2 inches. Rich 
orange flesh, fine for the market gardener, as its narrow or sloping shoulder, 
tapering half blunt end, makes it especially fine for bunching. 
Long Orange—80 Days 
This extremely productive carrot frequently grows 10 to 12 inches long, some¬ 
times longer, and produces a root of deep orange color, of about 3 inches diameter 
at the top of crown, tapering to a slight point. This is a variety used for both 
table and stock feeding. 
Orange Danvers Half Long or Rubicon—75 Days 
This is probably the best known variety of Carrot, 
as for years Market Gardeners have used more 
seed of this variety than all others combined. It is 
a broad shouldered cylindrical variety, 7 inches long, 
2 \ inches at the crown and gradually tapers to a 
blunt type. Color bright orange. Has rather a 
large core but is very tender and of excellent quality. 
Ox-Heart or Guerande—70 Days 
A thick blunt variety, 3 to 4 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. When 
full size grows to a diameter of a pint measure but should be eaten when one 
inch in diameter. Bright orange. An excellent variety. 
CATTLE CARROTS 
Large White Belgian—100 Days 
This is one of the very best cattle feeding carrots. Roots half-long, 8 to 10 
inches in length. Smooth with a heavy shoulder. Color of flesh a creamy 
white, with a light green crown. Very productive, and easy to harvest. 
Large Yellow Belgian—100 Days 
Very similar to the White Belgian in form and productiveness, only more 
slender. More attractive, owing to its yellow color and green crown. Used 
entirely for cattle feeding, producing an excellent quality of milk.
