CARROTS 
One ounce of seed will sow 300 feel of row, a packet 60 feet, 2 to 4 pounds will sow an acre. 
Carota (It.) 
We used to eat carrots because we had to; now we eat them because we like them. 
Refined modern varieties, such as Tendersweet, Supreme Half Long, Nantes, etc. are 
all so much finer in texture and of milder flavor that there is no comparison. Modern 
carrots are a really delicious vegetable. A few rows will supply all you want, as you 
can thin out the small ones for early use and let the rest grow for fall and winter. 
Carrots can be sown from early spring to the middle of summer. The earlier they are 
sown the larger the crop as a rule, but late sowings produce nice carrots for fall. 
Carrots for Fall. If Nantes or Coreless Carrots are sown in August they will make 
carrots about the size of one’s finger for fall use. These are extremely delicious eaten 
raw or cooked whole with butter sauce. 
SUPREME HALF LONG. 
(New.) Coreless. This new carrot is an ex¬ 
cellent home and market variety. In type it 
closely resembles a refined Danvers Half Long, being tapering and slightly stump 
rooted. The flesh is smooth of fine quality and deep orange in color with a very small 
core. The tops are fairly small. This is an excellent new variety and we recommend it.

CHANTENAY. (Special Strain.) Still the most popular carrot for general use and 
market. The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, tapering slightly and are quite stump- 
rooted. The color is deep orange and the roots are fine grained, smooth as a bottle 
and of fine quality. We offer a very uniform strain which grows an inch longer than 
the usual Chantenay. Growers find this fine for bunching.

DANVERS HALF LONG. The roots taper a little more at the bottom than the old 
strain of Chantenay and grow about 1 inch longer, being 7 to 8 inches in length. This 
variety is valuable for stock feeding as well as for market. Very heavy yields are 
often obtained, a thousand bushels per acre being not at all unusual. Our stock is the 
most uniform obtainable.

that comes into our markets from California. The

ly tapering. The color is deep orange and extends right 
to the center, and with a very small core. The tops 
are just right for bunching.

RED CORED CHANTENAY. 
-— very true 
stock of this fine variety which has become very popular 
with market gardeners, canners and home gardeners 
in fact all who want fine quality in carrots. 
Instead of the tough light colored core which for¬ 
merly was characteristic of most carrots, this strain 
has the deep orange-red color right through to the 
center. The carrots are but a little shorter than our 
Special Chantenay and will yield large crops. 
We strongly advise the use of this variety both in the 
home and commercial garden.

PERFECTION. A larger and better Coreless Carrot. 
This excellent carrot is becoming increasingly popular 
for fall crops, both for home use and market. The 
carrots resemble Amsterdam Forcing in shape, but are 
nearly two inches longer, and are very smooth and 
symmetrical. There is no “core” as the deep orange 
color extends right through to the center. The quality 
of Perfection is very fine.

inches long and often nearly as large around as it is 
long. Matures early. Can be easily pulled by hand and 
yields as much as the longer varieties.

stock feeding per acre than any other variety.

TENDERSWEET. The Sweetest Kind. Actually 
■ the sweetest and finest we have 
ever eaten. It has a richness and quality of flavor 
which we have found in no other variety and people 
who do not care for “ordinary” carrots are often very 
enthusiastic about “Tendersweet.” 
The flesh is a very deep orange in color, fine in tex¬ 
ture and the carrots are practically “coreless.” Tender¬ 
sweet Carrot is unusual in appearance, as the outer 
skin is of deep orange color tinged with deep red. The 
tops are dark green with a very pronounced deep red 
coloring at the base of the stems. 
The fine quality makes this an outstanding variety 
for the home garden and it is becoming more popular 
Tendersweet Carrots each year for market and roadside stands.
