CARROT 
. CULTURE.—While a sandy loam, made rich by manuring 
the previous year, is the best soil for the Carrot, any good 
land, if thoroughly and deeply worked, will produce satis¬ 
factory crops. It is advisable to sow as early in the Spring 
as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may be 
grown from sowings as late as June 15. For table use, 
sow the smaller kinds early in rows 16 to 18 inches apart. 
For field culture, sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart, using 
from 1% to 3 pounds of seed to the acre. Cover V 2 to 1 
inch deep. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of row.

Danvers Half Long 
DANVER’S HALF LONG 
A half-long orange carrot, grown largely on account of 
its great productiveness and adaptability to all classes of 
soil. Tops of medium size. Roots of medium length, 6 to 
8 inches long, tapering uniformly to a blunt point. Flesh 
deep orange, crisp and tender. Although the roots of this 
variety are comparatively short, they produce as large a 
bulk as the longer field sorts and are more easily har¬ 
vested. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, *4 lb. 30c, lb. 75c. 
W. D. CO.’s CORLESS 
Tops of medium size; roots cylindrical, smooth, bright 
orange; flesh orange, becoming yellow in center, but with 
no distinct core. One of the handsomest of the medium 
size sorts; excellent for the market gardener or home gar¬ 
den. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, y 4 lb. 35c, lb. $1.00. 
CUERANDE or OXHEART 
Especially desirable for soil so hard and stiff that long- 
rooted sorts would not thrive in it. Tops comparatively 
small. Roots 4 to 5 inches long, very thick, ending abrupt¬ 
ly in a small tap root. Flesh bright orange, fine-grained 
and sweet. When young the roots are excellent for table 
use, and when matured are equally good for stock feeding. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, % lb. 30c, lb. 75c. 
Guerande, or Ox Heart 
CHANTENAY or PRIDE 
OF THE MARKET 
Very productive, medium 
early and of excellent quality. 
Tops medium - sized; necks 
small. Roots thick, 5% to 6 
inches in length, uniformly 
half-long or stump-rooted, but 
tapering slightly; smooth, deep 
orange color. Flesh very crisp 
and tender. Although a medi¬ 
um-early sort, the roots are 
suitable for use nearly as early 
as any. 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 very desirable as a 
field sort. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, *4 
lb. 30c, lb. 90c. 
Chantenay, or Pride 
of the Market 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE

long and comparatively thick, often 12 inches in length, 
and 3 inches in diameter at the crown, tapering regularly 
to a point. Tops small for the size of the root. Suitable 
for table use as well as stock feeding, combining great 
productiveness with uniform shape and fine-grained, sweet 
flesh. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 54 lb. 25c, lb. 75c. 
RED CORE CHANTENAY 
This is a distinct improvement over the well known 
Chantenay especially in color, texture, and quality of flesh 
and has been accepted with much enthusiasm particularly 
by shippers of fresh vegetables and by canners. Roots 
deep reddish-orange; 5% to 6 inches long, 2% inches thick 
at the shoulder, tapered, stump-rooted; core reddish- 
orange, almost the same color as the flesh and so incon¬ 
spicuous as to make the term coreless seem appropriate; 
flesh fine grained and tender; of sweet, delicate flavor.

EARLY SCARLET HORN
