CARROTS. 
or 
Note our Oregon-grown Carrot Seed, far superior to cheap strains. At freight 
express rates deduct 5 cents per pound. 
Carrots may be planted from March to 
June. We prefer to plant from May 10 to 
25; they will then mis many of the spring 
weeds and will stand through the dry season 
better, making a better quality of roots. 
Those who plant any quantity should use a 
good drill, as it lessens the work and gives 
a more even stand. As soon as they are up 
use a wheel hoe, following this with a har¬ 
row tooth cultivator. Those who have no 
wheel hoe can run a line of land plaster 
along the row as soon as the carrots show, 
then follow with a harrow’ tooth cultivator. 
The plaster will enable you to see the rows 
clearly as well as fertilize. Plant in rows 3 
feet wide. 
•CHANTENAY —We consider this the best 
of table carrots. The roots are very smooth, 
stump-rooted and thick at tops. The tenderest 
and sweetest carrot we ever grew. It will 
grow closer together in the rows and still 
mature more good-sized carrots than any 
other. In fact, it is such a good yiclder that 
many plant it for feeding purposes. It does 
not crack like some varieties. Decidedly the 
best carrot for market, either for sacking 
or bunching. The leading sort for canneries 
and driers. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; Lib., 70c; 
lb., $2.25; postpaid. 
*Danver’s Half Long —The standard stock 
carrot, but we do not recommend it for table 
use, as compared to the Chantenay. It is a 
heavy yielder and is largely planted. Our 
strain of it is extra good. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
Lib., 75c; lb., $2.50; postpaid. 
Long Orange —Suited for deep soils; long 
red roots for stock feeding. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
20c; Lib., 60c; lb., $2.00; postpaid. 
Large White Belgian —Long-rooted white 
stock carrot; very heavy yielder. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 15c; Lib., 45c; lb., $1.50; postpaid.
