CARROTS 
HOW TO GROW THEM. Carrots grow 
the best in deep, loose, fertile soil, although 
any good garden soil well worked will produce 
Carrots. If your soil is rather heavy or hard, 
plant Early Scarlet Horn. For the first crop, sow the seed in April 
as soon as the soil is warm and fit to work, then make successive 
plantings until August 1, the last for fall or winter use. Make the rows 
12 to 15 inches apart; cover the seed y 2 inch deep; then thin out the 
plants so they will stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. One ounce 
will sow a row 100 feet long; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre in 2-foot rows 
or 6 to 8 pounds in rows 1 foot apart. 
The “Schell’s Strain” of 
Chantenay Carrots 
You can have a perfect crop, with very much more 
profit to you, if you sow “Schell’s Strain” of Chan¬ 
tenay —one of the three most popular Carrots in 
America today. It is to 6 y 2 inches long, 2 to 2^ 
inches at the crown, and i to iK inches at the bottom, 
of perfect uniform shape and smooth. The color is a 
very rich bright orange-scarlet all the way through, 
even the heart or core. If you look at our seed of 
Chantenay Carrot and seed of some other strain, both 
may look very much alike, and both may grow, hut, 
hid away in the breeding, in the “blood,” in the heart 
or life germ of the seed where the eye cannot see it, is 
that greatly superior quality which will be seen in 
the crop, distinctly and outstandingly. This is why 
thousands of gardeners know they are acting wisely 
and to their own interests financially by sowing Schell’s 
Strain, even though it costs a little more, for it is 
worth many times more. Try Schell’s Strain this

rots. Have the best
