Descriptive Seed List for 1936 
CARROTS 
The carrot is a healthy, nutritious food for the family or for the stock. While we recommend the 
Yellow Mangel for cows, carrots are the best for horses, and they are especially valuable to feed 
poultry in winter, giving you great returns in the increased egg production. Peas and carrots make 
the cheapest and best foot for laying hens. Don’t fail to grow plenty of carrots. Easily grown, if you 
use our seed, which has always given great satisfaction. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY. A new variety 
of carrot with tops shorter and finer cut than 
Chantenay. The roots are about six inches long 
and two inches in diameter. The core is quite 
red and in cooking retains its color to a re¬ 
markable extent. It has all the good qualities 
of both the Chantenay and the Nantes, and 
about 10% greater sugar content than either 
variety. A fine market sort. Pkg., 5c; oz., 15c; 
4 lb., 30c; Zz lb., 50c; 1 lb., 90c. 
NANTES OR CORELESS. This is one of the 
finest of all table carrots, about six inches long 
and slightly over one inch in diameter when 
fully matured. It is stump rooted and very uni¬ 
form in size the full length. The flesh is ex¬ 
ceptionally tender and sweet and the flavor is 
fine, either cooked or raw as in salads. Our 
strain is almost entirely coreless, which makes 
it unsurpassed for canning purposes. Pkg., 5c; 
oz., 15c; 4 lb., 30c; Zz lb., 55c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
OXHEART or GUERANDE. Short and thick 
intermediate, between the half-long and the 
Early Horn varieties; three or four inches in 
diameter at the neck. Of most beautiful color 
and shape. Pkg., 5c; oz., 15c; 4 lb*. 30c; 
Zz lb., 50c; 1 lb., 90c.

orange red. Pkg., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 30c; 
!/ 2 lb., 50c; 1 lb., 90c. 
DANVERS HALF-LONG. The best knowi 
of all yellow carrots. It is shorter and easier to 
pull than the Long Orange and one of the best 
yielders. The quality is excellent. Very fine 
either for table or stock. Pkg., 5c; oz., 15c; 
4 lb., 30c; Zz lb., 50c; 1 lb., 90c.
