CHAS. C. HART SEED CO. — 12 — WETHERSFIELD, CONN. 
CARROTE 
CARROT CAROTA 
Plant in drills 12 inches apart and when seedlings are set, 
thin to stand three inches apart in row. Sow in any good 
garden soil, or best, a sandy loam, well manured. Carrots 
may be stored in pits outdoors or in the vegetable cellar 
until late in the winter. 
One ounce to 300 feet, 2 to 4 pounds per acre 
Hutchinson —The favorite New England Carrot. The roots are 
about fifteen inches long very nearly cylindrical in form 
and taper very slightly to an abrupt stump root. It is a 
beautiful deep orange in color shading to a light green on 
the shoulders which grow slightly out of the ground. Its 
size, shape, color and productivity make it a very desirable 
market gardeners' sort for busheling purposes and for 
winter use. Our strain of this fine type is one of the best 
ever offered to New England gardeners. 80 days. 
Tendersweet —The sweetest and finest Carrot you can find. It 
has a richness and a fineness of flavor that no other variety 
can equal. It is deep orange in color, of fine texture and is 
practically coreless and lacking in fiber. It is about 8 to 10 
inches long tapering from a broad shoulder to a blunt end 
and makes an extremely handsome and attractive appear¬ 
ance either for bunching or for busheling. 74 days. (See 
page 2). 
Scarlet Nantes —An early variety, half-long and cylindrical 
in shape which holds its form uniformly to the brief tap 
root. It is a bright orange-red in color and is nearly core¬ 
less and very tender throughout. Housewives like its 
smooth round shape and clear attractive color and prefer 
it over all others because it is easy to scrape and to slice. 
65 days. 
Carrot — Imperator 
Red Cored Chantenay— This carrot has shorter 
and more finely cut tops than the regular 
Chantenay, but they are not brittle and are 
strong enough to bunch easily. The roots are 
about the same size and shape as Chantenay, 
a richer and deeper orange, and are decidedly 
more even and finer in appearance. What little 
core the carrot has is orange-red and quite in¬ 
conspicuous and slices and dices in ideal fash¬ 
ion. It matures a little earlier than Chantenay. 
70 days. 
Chantenay —The favorite early bunching Carrot. 
It is a half-long, blunt-ended root about six 
inches long, very thick and smooth, with wide 
shoulders which taper to an abrupt stump root. 
Its great productiveness and the ease with 
which it can be harvested make it most desir¬ 
able although we consider the Red Cored to 
be a great improvement. 70 days._
