One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 3 pounds will sow an acre 
Chantenay Half-Long. Our strain is specially selected, with fine uniform, 6 -inch 
clean roots, and nice bunching tops. A medium-early, half-long, smooth, blunt- 
rooted sort of deep orange-red color and delicate flavor. As it has a nice top, it is 
very popular for bunching and for frame use, allowing close planting. Shaped 
broadest at shoulder, tapering toward base and running suddenly to a point. 
Chantenay Long. Like Chantenay Half-Long in all respects except that the root is 
l }/2 inches longer. These uniform, smooth, clean, nicely colored roots have sub¬ 
stantial tops that will not break off after being bunched. 
Imperator. This is the long Carrot now being shipped from California. It is longer 
than Danvers, averaging 8 inches, but is more stump-rooted. Its color is deep 
orange. The core is equally deep orange and small. Its fine bunching tops and 
smooth, attractive, uniform roots are ideal for local market or for shipping. 
Nantes. Fine for frame use. The smooth bright orange root is cylindrical, about 
6 F 2 inches long and 1 hi inches across, with very blunted end and small tap-root. 
The flesh is red, sweet, almost coreless 
and of unsurpassed quality. The top is 
ordinarily small and short, but when 
grown on muck soil, tops grow larger. 
Makes it ideal for muck-soil bunching. 
Nantes XXX. This, a de luxe strain of 
the well-known Nantes, meets the 
most exacting needs for uniformity of 
form, size, and color. The cleaner, 
brighter orange, finer-textured roots 
mature earlier than Nantes regular 
strain. Well worth the higher seed-cost. 
Morse’s Bunching. Slightly tapering, 
cylindrical roots, 8 by Vy± inches, 
with half-stumped points. Short, 
coarse, strong tops and easily pulled. 
Flesh deep orange and coreless. Fine 
for bunching; later than Imperator. 
Coreless. Very early maturing, cylindrical, 
blunt-ended, smooth, clean roots, 6 by 
l }/2 inches with tiny tap-roots and small, 
fine tops. The red-orange flesh is tender, 
and absolutely without any core. 
Danvers. Smooth, 7-inch roots with 1^-inch 
square shoulders, tapering to a nice point. 
The orange-red flesh is crisp and sweet. 
Specially selected for uniformity and heavy 
yield. Fine for shipping and storing. 
Hutchinson. A winter-keeping variety with 
15-inch roots, nearly cylindrical, tapering 
slightly to an abrupt stump end. The green 
top of the roots grows slightly out of ground. 
The deep orange, smooth roots are very 
attractive when bunched and washed for 
market. A nice bushel Carrot. 
Hutchinson XXX. There is none finer than 
this truly de luxe strain to meet the most 
exacting needs for uniform size, form and 
color. The cylindrical roots are longer than 
the regular Hutchinson and do not taper, 
giving a greater bushel yield. The increased 
Morse’s Bunching Carrots yield more than pays the higher seed-cost.
