Culture. The Carrot, whether used raw, fried, boiled or stewed, used 
alone or combined with other vegetables or meat is not surpassed in nutri¬ 
tious healthfulness by any vegetable. Plant Carrot seed from the time 
the soil can be worked in the spring till July, in 1- or 2-foot rows for hand 
cultivation or in 30'inch rows where a horse-drawn tool is used. Use 1 
ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, 3 to 4 pounds to the acre, covering 
one-half inch deep and later thin to a 4-inch stand. To cultivate the rows 
at an early date, sow Radish seed, which germinates quickly, with Carrot 
seed, which germinates slowly. Do not overlook the value of this crop as a 
stock feed. Number of days are from planting to roots of bunching size. 
CALIFORNIA PEERLESS. (70 days). This Carrot is of 
outstanding quality, very smooth and of medium size 
with very small core and does not make very much top. 
The color is a bright red. It will stay in bunching con¬ 
dition for a long while and is a fine Carrot to pack and 
sell in boxes. The crown is oval in shape and the tops 
do not break off as in other Carrots. 
CHANTENAY. (70 days). Tops medium sized; necks 
small; roots tapering slightly but uniformly stump rooted 
and smooth; color deep orange-red; flesh very crisp and 
tender. A heavy cropper and is undoubtedly one of the 
best for both the market and private garden while its 
great productiveness makes it very desirable as a field 
sort. 
RED-CORED CHANTENAY. (70 days). An outstand¬ 
ing favorite with many people who grow Carrots in their 
gardens. The rich deep reddish orange color extends 
clear to the center. The root tapers to a blunt end. 
LONG or GREATER CHANTENAY. (70 days). This 
is a strain of Early Chantenay which resembles the orig¬ 
inal type in all respects except that it averages l '/2 to 2 
inches longer. 
DANVERS. (73 days). Grown largely on account of its 
great productiveness and adaptability to all classes of 
soil. Tops of medium size, coarsely divided. 
The smooth and handsome roots are deep 
orange, of medium length, tapering uniformly 
to a blunt point; flesh sweet, crisp, tender, and 
of a deep orange color. 
OXHEART or GUERANDE. (72 days). Tops small for the 
size of the roots, which are comparatively short, but often 
reach a diameter of 5 inches, terminating abruptly in a small 
tap root. Flesh bright orange, fine grained and sweet. This 
variety is especially desirable for soil so hard and stiff that 
longer rooted sorts would not thrive in it. When young, 
excellent for table use, and when mature equally good for 
stock.
