CARROTS 
Carrots, Chantenau 
Carrots require only average simple 
care and have no serious insect or 
disease pests. Sandy loam is the 
best soil type, however, almost any 
soil that is thoroughly and deeply 
worked will produce a good crop. 
Soil that has been richly fertilized 
the previous season is ideal as new¬ 
ly fertilized soil is apt to cause split 
roots. Plant seed in rows 16 to 18 
inches apart and cover one-half to 
one inch, pressing the soil down 
firmly.. February is a good month 
to sow for the spring crop, and Aug¬ 
ust for the fall crop. However, an al¬ 
most continuous crop may be har¬ 
vested by sowing seed at 4-6 week 
intervals throughout the year. 
CHANTENAY —70 days. A most ex¬ 
cellent, medium early, half long 
variety. Roots are 5% inches long, 
stump rooted and a deep orange-red 
in color. One of the most popular 
for bunching. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; J4 
lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
CHANTENAY RED CORE— 70days. 
This is a distinct improvement over 
the regular Chantenay strain in 
that the color of both the flesh and 
core are a uniform deep reddish- 
orange, the yellowish coarse core 
having been eliminated. Outside of 
this remarkable Red Core improve¬ 
ment the strain resembles the reg¬ 
ular Chantenay, and is fast increas¬ 
ing in popularity which it greatly 
deserves.
