CARROT 
CULTURE—Carrots may be planted from March to June. We prefer to plant from May 10 to 25; 
they will then miss many of the spring weeds and will stand throug-h the dry season better, making a 
better quality of roots. Plant in rows 3 feet apart covering one-half to one inch, according to weather 
conditions. 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 harrow tooth cultivator. 
PRICES—Unless otherwise stated, prices are uni¬ 
formly as follows: Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 40c; lb. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
GILL’S OREGON CHANTENAY—A special strain 
of our selection producing very smooth roots about 
one inch longer than the regular strain and of more 
even diameter the whole length of the carrot. It is 
very popular with gardeners. The best carrot for 
bunching and is rapidly taking the lead wherever 
tried. The tops are of medium size, tough and wiry, 
hence the carrots seldom break from the bunches. 
The roots are deep red color with small core. Very 
high quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; ^4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.00. 
GILL’S SPECIAL NANTES—The roots are bright 
orange, 6 to 8 inches long and very uniform. They 
have a very small core and are exceptionally ten¬ 
der and sweet. The roots are rather slender, of even 
diameter and of early maturity. Very desirable for 
market, especially for bunching, and also splendid 
for the home garden. We offer a fine, re-selected 
strain grown from our stock seed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
25c; % Ib. 40c; lb. $1.00. 
TENDERSWEET—Heavy yielding; roots 8 to 10 
inches long, tapering from shoulder to a rather blunt 
end. Color rich orange red and with the sweet, 
tender quality is much in demand by market gar¬ 
deners. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; V4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.00. 
CHANTENAY—A good, all around carrot. The 
roots are very smooth, stump rooted and of good 
quality. 
IMPERATOR—A good market carrot. Roots long, 
stump rooted; smooth and of rich red color with 
small core. 
TABLE GEM—We believe this to be the finest of 
all table carrots. The roots are 5 to 6 inches long, 
of even diameter with blunt points. It is nearly 
coreless, exceptionally tender and sweet and is de¬ 
licious eaten raw. It is very early and the tops 
are small. It is suited for forcing or outside cul¬ 
ture. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Vt lb. 45c; lb. $1.35. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN—Very early with small 
tops. Bright orange red; three inches long and top 
shaped. A valuable first early sort. 
MORSE’S BUNCHING—Long, slender roots of 
good color and quality. 
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 crop¬ 
per. Our strain is extra good. 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN — Long-rooted white 
stock carrot; very heavy yielder. 
LARGE YELLOW BELGIAN—Same as above ex¬ 
cept color pale yellow. 
WHITE MASTODON—Very heavy, short, taper¬ 
ing, smooth roots. 
SWEET CORN 
The first requisite for success with corn is acclimated seed—Note those with star. 
CULTURE—Prices paid for first early corn will pay the grower to take chances on early planting. 
For this planting use 4 to 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches, and rows 
3% feet, allowing two stalks to the hill or as some prefer, and we think this gives the best results, plant 
15 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk; this gives all the stalks an even show. April 1 to May 1 
is a good season for early com, of course, depending on the weather. May 15th to 25th is good for the 
later sorts, as they do not resist damp, cold weather so well as the early sorts. 
Corn will not fill well unless the patch planted is blocked out; those planting small quantities 
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This will permit the pollen to blow down on the silk, fer¬ 
tilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in succession up to June 25. Use Garden Grow fertilizer. 
♦GILL’S EARLY GOLDEN SWEET—Earliest of 
the golden varieties with medium large ears of high¬ 
est quality. Averages 12 rows of kernels to the ear. 
Ears average about the same size as Improved Ban¬ 
tam with stalks three and one-half feet tall. We 
recommend this for market and home gardens. The 
sweetest first early variety we have tested. Pkl. 
10c; Vz Ib. 20c; Ib. 35c. E. or F., Ib. 25c; 10 lbs. 
@ 20c; 25 lbs. @ 18c; 100 lbs. @ 17c. 
•GILL’S GOLDEN EARLY MARKET—The earli¬ 
est large, true sweet corn of golden color. It is 
a cross between our improved Golden Bantam and 
Early White Market. Just as early as Early White 
Market and of better quality. According to our own 
trials and reports from all over the country, it is 
earlier and larger than Golden Sunshine. It is the 
outstanding early corn and is a money-maker for 
gardeners. The stalks grow taller and more vig¬ 
orous than Early Market, while the ears are larger. 
For home use or market, be sure to plant this 
variety. It matures two weeks earlier than Im¬ 
proved Golden Bantam. Large, golden ears, tightly 
filled with large sweet grains of high quality. Pkt. 
10c; Vi lb. 20c; Ib. 35c; E. or F.. lb. 25c; 10 
lbs. @ 17c; 2.5 lbs. 0 16c; 100 lbs. 15c. 
•GILL’S EARLY WHITE MARKET—For years 
this has been recognized as the earliest true sweet 
corn and we have splendid reports from all over 
the United States. The immense ears are well filled 
with large, sweet, plump, white grains set 12 to 14 
rows to the cob. On account of its extreme earli¬ 
ness and large size market gardeners get very 
profitable prices. Pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 35c. 
E. or F., lb. 25c; 10 lbs. @ i8c; 25 lbs. @ 16c.
