CHANTENAY. (Special Strain.) This is the most popular carrot for general use and market. The 
roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, tapering slightly and are quite stump-rooted. The color is deep orange 
and the roots are fine grained, smooth as a bottle and of fine quality. We offer a very uniform strain 
which grows an inch longer than the usual Chantenay. Growers find this fine for bunching. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. I5c; Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
DANVERS HALF LONG. The roots taper a little more at the bottom than the old strain of Chantenay 
and grow about 1 inch longer, being 7 to 8 inches in length. This variety is valuable for stock feeding as 
well as for market. Very heavy yields are often obtained, a thousand bushels per acre being not at all 
unusual. Our stock is the most uniform obtainable.

HUTCHINSON. We are pleased to offer seed of the true Hutchinson strain which is so popular in New 
England. This is a large and very productive carrot and especially valuable for busheling. The roots 
are 8 to 10 inches long, nearly the same size the whole length, stump rooted and of a bright orange color.

IMPERATOR. This is the fine quality bunching carrot that comes into our markets from California. 
-1 The roots average about 8 in. long, are somewhat tapering, of deep orange color 
which extends right to the center, and with a very small core. The tops are just right for bunching. 
Tendersweet Carrots 
Grow these for superb quality. 
MORSE’S BUNCHING.

NANTES, CORELESS. We recommend 
-this variety very highly. It is 
one of the best of the “coreless” varieties 
and is particularly valuable for the home 
garden and as a bunching kind for market. 
The roots are 6 to 7 in. long, the same size 
the whole length, smooth and stump root¬ 
ed making it very attractive when bunched. 
The color is deep orange which extends 
through the whole root. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.50. 
NEW. This is a particularly fine bunching 
carrot. The roots grow about 8 inches long are 
smooth, slightly stump rooted and of excellent quality, being sweet and fine 
grained, deep orange in color and with practically no core. It is an excellent kind 
for the home garden as well as a very attractive variety for market. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
TENDERSWEET. The Sweetest Kind. This is the sweetest and finest we 
-1 have ever eaten. It has a richness and quality of flavor 
which we have found in no other variety. People who do not care for “ordinary” 
carrots are often very enthusiastic about “Tendersweet,” and we are confident that 
home gardeners who once try this kind will never go without it in their gardens. 
The flesh is a very deep orange in color, fine in texture and the carrots are prac¬ 
tically “coreless.” Tendersweet Carrot is unusual in appearance, as the outer skin 
is of deep orange color somewhat tinged with red. The tops are dark green with a 
very pronounced deep red coloring at the base of the stems. 
The fine quality makes this an outstanding variety for the home garden and it is 
becoming more popular each year for market.

RED CORED CHANTENAY. We have a very true stock of this fine 
- ' variety which has become very popular 
with market gardeners, canners, home gardeners as well as growers for roadside 
markets, who cater to a “quality trade.” 
Instead of the light colored core which has always been characteristic of the 
Chantenay, Danvers and similar carrots, this new strain has the deep orange-red 
color right through to the center. The carrots are but a little shorter than our 
Special Chantenay and will yield large crops of fine carrots. 
We strongly advise the use of this variety both in the home and commercial garden.

PERFECTION. A larger and better Coreless Carrot. This excellent carrot is 
becoming increasingly popular for fall crops, both for home use and market. The 
carrots resemble Amsterdam Forcing in shape, but are nearly two inches longer, and 
are very smooth and symmetrical. There is no “core” as the deep orange color 
extends right through to the center. The quality of Perfection is very fine. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; Vi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.95.

Carrots have long been recognized as one of the most healthful vegetables grown, and now since the in¬ 
troduction of such varieties as Tendersweet, Red Cored Chantenay, Perfection, Nantes, etc., our ideas of how 
carrots should taste have been greatly changed. Those who have grown these high quality kinds find 
carrots to be a really delicious vegetable. A few rows will supply all you want, as you can thin out the 
small ones for early use and let the rest grow for fall and winter. 
Carrots can be sown from early spring to the middle of summer. The earlier they are sown the larger 
the crop as a rule, but late sowings produce nice carrots for fall. 
Carrots for Fall. If Nantes or Coreless Carrots arc sown in August 
they will make carrots about the size of one’s finger for fall use. These 
are extremely delicious cooked whole with butter sauce. 
Carrots for Feeding. Carrots are of a high value for feeding cows, 
horses and sheep, and as very large crops can be grown on a small 
piece of ground, it pays remarkably well to raise at least a small plot 
of them every year. They are of great benefit to cows and horses in 
the fall and winter. Two of the best varieties for this purpose are 
Danvers Half-Long and Mastodon or White Vosges. 
Small carrots served raw 
like radishes are delicious. 
Try them. Nantes is the 
best variety to use.
