CULTURE—1 oz. for 100-foot row, 4 lbs. per acre. 
Carrots are very hardy and can be planted as soon as 
you stir up from 2 to 3 inches of top soil. Have the rows 
14 inches apart and thin to about 4 inches apart in the rows. 
Cover the seed half inch deep and tramp the ground firmly 
which insures quick germination. Cultivate frequently. 
Successive sowings can be made in our section up to July 
10th. Number of days indicates days from planting to bunch¬ 
ing size. 
HIGH CLASS CARROT SEED 
Our carrot seed grows roots that have no hard core, are 
rich in color of uniform shape without the rosin-like smell 
characteristic to this vegetable. Prepared for table, the ten¬ 
derness, sweetness and delicious flavor makes it a dish fit for 
the gods. Your customers can tell good carrot from poor. 
Raise the finest carrot there is from our seed, to make them 
come again. 
BEST CARROT 
I want the best carrot there is. That is what the cus¬ 
tomer says when he comes in person to our place. 
There is no such a thing as BEST in carrots, or most 
other vegetables. Carrots differ in size, shape, earliness, 
keeping qualities, amount of tops, color and taste. 
Every variety of carrot we offer is high class. None has 
qualities that would answer all purposes. Therefore plant 
French Forcing if you want carrots ahead of all others In 
earliness and if willing to grow carrots under glass. If you 
want the earliest carrot for bunching with an appealing 
shape and good color you must grow Gold Coin, because that 
is the best variety for early sales. If you want highest qual¬ 
ity and fair crop and a carrot that will keep over winter 
Nantes is what you want. If you want a carrot that will give 
you immense crop and will keep, properly stored, till spring 
Oxheart is the sort and if you want a large stump rooted 
carrot the kind that sells in any market, is good for growing 
on a large scale, South or North, you want Danvers or Chan- 
tenay. 
CARROT IMPERATOR (77 days) 
A type of Chantenay, but the roots are better filled out, not 
tapering quite as much as Chantenay. They are of extra fine ap¬ 
pearance, deep orange, of fine texture, tender and sweet. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 10c; lb. 85c; 10 lbs. $7.00, prepaid. 
We recommend Imperator for light soils only. On heavy soils 
It seldom properly develops, It will not ripen up and for heavy soil 
Chantenay or Danvers are to be preferred. 
CARROT SELECTED DANVERS (75 days) 
The roots are almost cylindrical, stump rooted, of fine 
rich, orange red color. Flesh fine grained, crisp, tender, with 
a very little core. A very heavy cropper, 30 tons of roots 
per acre being no exceptional crop. It is a very important 
variety with market gardeners. Realizing this, we are con¬ 
stantly improving our strain of this carrot, and can definitely 
pronounce it the finest in cultivation. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 
90c, prepaid; 10 lbs. $6.00, prepaid.
