CULTURE —Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil to grow them to 
perfection. A good light and weil enriched sandy loam is the best for this crop. 
Sow in drills about 18 inches apart and cultivate well with suitable tools. 
When the plants have attained the proper size, thin to from 2 to 3 inches 
apart in the row, so as to allow ample development. 
Carrots require a complete fertilizer, especially rich in Potash. 
1 ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds required for an acre 
CHANTENAY HALF LONG—THE MODEL (70 days)—A variety much 
used by market gardeners, bunching quite early. Half long, stump-rooted. 
The thick, smooth, deep orange roots are from 6 to 8 inches long and very 
attractive. The heavy tops bunch well. Late sowings may be made to 
produce roots for storage, as it will be found to keep well. 
CHANTENAY, RED CORED (70 days) —Fine grained flesh of a deep or 
reddish orange. The core is so small as to almost warrant the name “core¬ 
less. ” Shippers are finding this to be quite popnlar on the markets.
