CARROTS 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; three to four pounds 
required for acre . 
Culture. — April is the time to sow for early use. 
Sow seed in drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, and thin 
out from three to four inches in drill, covering: seed about one-half inch. 
For general crop sow in May same distance apart as above, but cover seed 
a little deeper, as sun is stronger. Perfect specimens require a fine, pul¬ 
verized, deep soil. 
Danvers Half-Long Improved 
(Stump Root.) For a general 
crop the best; the largest yield; 
the most profitable for the market gardeners. A half long orange Carrot. 
Roots medium length, tapering uniformly to a blunt point; smooth and 
handsome. Flesh sweet, crisp and tender. It is a desirable second early 
Carrot for the home garden and is also 
suitable for field culture. The tops are 
of medium size. The mature roots are 
six to eight inches long. Although the 
roots of this variety at maturity are com¬ 
paratively short they often produce as 
large a bulk as the longer field sorts 
and are more easily harvested. The Dan¬ 
vers Ilalf-Long originated in Danvers, 
Mass., where the raising of Carrots is a 
specialty. It is now grown largely 
everywhere on account of its great pro¬ 
ductiveness and great adaptability to all 
classes of soil. Great care has been 
taken in the selection of roots for seeds.

DANVERS HALF-LONG (Special 
Strain). We have grown for us a spe¬ 
cial selection of this Carrot by a market 
gardener in Danvers. After years of 
careful attention to shape, color and 
productiveness for his own private use 
lie has produced a variety as nearly per¬ 
fect ns possible. Our supply is limited.

CHANTENAY, HALF-LONG. A most 
excellent, medium early, half-long va¬ 
riety. It is one of the best in quality 
for the market and home garden, while 
its great productiveness and the ease 
with which it can be harvested make it 
desirable ns a field sort. The tops are 
medium sized iwith small neck. The 
mature roots are thick, five and one-half 
to six inches in length, uniformly half- 
long or stump rooted but tapering slightly; smooth, deep orange-red in 
color. The flesh is very crisp and tender. Although a medium early 
sort the roots are suitable for use nearly as early as any. The variety 
is extensively used for bunching.

EARLY SCARLET HORN (Stump Root). One of the best early 
forcing varieties, this being used mostly for forcing and extra early 
planting. It is very fine, green and of excellent flavor as a table Carrot. 
Grows well in shallow soil, being a short variety with small top. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., Vi lb. $1.00, lb. $3.00. 
FRENCH FORCING. Earliest Short Horn. One of the earliest va¬ 
rieties in cultivation and very desirable for forcing. The tops are very 
small. The roots are reddish orange and are nearly round when forced, 
but somewhat longer when grown outdoors. When fully matured the 
roots are about two to two and one-half inches long.

GUERANDE, or OXHEART. Roots are broad at the top, terminating 
abruptly in a small tap root. On account of their shape they are easily 
dug. Flesh is a bright orange, fine grain and very sweet. The mature 
roots are four and one-half to five inches long, very thick, ending 
abruptly in a small tap root. When young the roots are desirable for 
table use as a medium early Carrot, and when mature they are equally 
good for stock feeding. Tops are small for the size root. Grows veil 
in soil too hard for the longer growing sorts.
