CARROT 
Culture Like other root crops, the carrot likes a rich sandy loam, well tilled. For early crops, sow as soon as the ground 
can be tilled, say in April or early May. For late crops, sow in late June or July. Sow the seed a half inch deep in drills 12 
inches apart, thinning to three inches in the row. Carrot is slow to germinate and the soil must therefore be well firmed. One 
ounce for 100 feet of row; 6 to 8 pounds per acre when sowed in one foot drills. 
CHANTENAY The outstanding market garden and home garden 
sort. It grows half-long, stump rooted, and makes a very fine 
appearance. It is a heavy yielder and makes a fine bunching 
carrot at any time after it has made half of its growth. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY This new strain of Chantenay is 
quite free from the ordinary yellow core, an improvement over 
the old type. On account of its tenderness, it is superior to the 
usual Chantenay, and it promises to become one of the leading 
varieties as soon as it becomes better known to growers. It is 
particularly attractive to canners and market gardeners, gen¬ 
erally brineine a better price on the market due to its fine dark- 
red center. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
WOODRUFF'S SELECTED DANVERS This is a very fancy 
selection of the old Danvers Half Long. It is only slightly 
stump-rooted, tapering more than Chantenay. Matures in about 
70 days, being therefore about ten days later than Chantenay. 
This strain has proven to be a heavy yielder and makes a fine 
main crop sort. It is smaller in diameter than Chantenay, but 
is not so apt to split in wet weather. Its length is slightly greater 
than Chantenay. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. 
DANVERS HALF LONG This is our regular strain 
of Danvers Half Long or Danvers Improved. The 
characteristics are the same as Woodruff’s Selected 
Danvers, but we have not devoted the time and care 
to selecting this strain as we have our special stock 
of selected Danvers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb-, 35c; 
lb., $1.25. 
SCARLET NANTES A half-long carrot of practically 
cylindrical shape, tapering very little from shoulder 
down. The carrot is stump rooted, coreless, and 
very fine for forcing. It is an early variety, maturing 
in about 65 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Y /\ lb., 35c; 
lb., $1.25. 
OXHEART or GUERANDE A short chunky variety about as 
thick as it is long. It is a good keeper and is well adapted 
for growing in stiff, hard soil, where others do not thrive. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
