CARROTS 
Choice Seed for the Most Critical 
Gardeners 
For an early crop 
the seed should be 
sown from the first 
to the middle of 
April, and for the 
later crop about the 
first of June. The 
seed should be 
planted in drills 
about 14 inches 
apart, covering about 
Vi inch; when the 
plants come up, thin 
to 4 inches apart in 
the row. The soil 
should be fertilized 
the fall preceding. 
Fresh manure should 
never be used. Cul¬ 
tivate at frequent 
intervals if you wish 
your crops to ma¬ 
ture quickly, or if 
extra large speci¬ 
mens are desired. 
An ounce of seed 
will sow 100 feet of 
drill; 3 to 4 pounds 
for one acre.

Chantenay 
This is one of the most popu- 
l .nnnfpnnVT' of all carrots. It is half- 
J • long as shown in the illustra¬ 
tion. Our strain of this popular carrot is ex¬ 
ceptionally choice. It grows about 6 inches long, 
2 inches thick at top, deep orange-red color, 
smooth, handsome and of extra fine quality. 
Fine for market or home use. Pkt. 6c, oz. 10c, 
^ lb. 33c, lb. 90c, 6 lbs. $4.18, 10 lbs. $8.08. 
OXIIEART or Guerande. Grows 5 inches long 
by 3 to 4 inches in diameter at crown; stump 
rooted. A big yielder on shallow soil. Not 
equal to Chantenay or Danvers as a market 
variety on account of its shape. It is of good 
quality, hov/ever. Pkt. 6c, oz. 10c, V4 lb. 33c, 
lb. 90c, 6 lbs. .$3.93, 10 lbs. $7.28. 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE. Grows 12 inches 
long, often 3 inches in diameter at the crown, 
tapering to a point. Color orange, quality good; 
we recommend this only for deep soil. It is 
good for stock feeding as it yields well but 
most too long for market. Pkt. 6c, oz. 10c, V4 
lb. 30c, lb. 86c, 6 lbs. $3.68, 10 lbs. $6.78.

carrot. Roots are deep orange color, exception¬ 
ally smooth, cylindrical in form, 6 inches long 
by IVa inches in diameter. Free from woody 
heart or core, and of the highest quality, sweet, 
crisp and tender. We recommend the Coreless 
to market gardeners for summer and early fall. 
Our seed is produced from a carefully selected 
strain, which is second to none. Pkt. 6c, oz. 
12 c, V4 lb. 33c, lb. $1.00, 6 lbs. $4.68, 10 lbs. $8.78. 
Day.) Very recently intro- 
dLUl • duced, the roots are 8 to 19 
inches long, tapering from the shoulder to the 
rather blunt end, the deep orange of the skin 
extending throughout the interior fiesh and 
core. The tops are medium size but large enough 
for bunching. Pkt. 6c, oz. 15c, V4 lb. 33c, 1 lb. 
90c, prepaid. 
Coreless Chantenay 'cVa'^nte^I?.) 
This new carrot is similar in shape to the well 
known Chantenay, has the sturdiness and fine 
qualities of this variety, but is the same red 
color at the core as on the outside, which 
makes it very desirable. It is of high quality 
and has sufficient foliage for bunching for local 
or long distance shipping. Our market garden 
friends will be pleased with this new carrot.
