Carrots 
Carrots contain large amounts of those elements which the 
human body needs for health and strength. They require 
about the same simple care as beets, they have no serious 
insect enemies, and they are rarely attacked by disease. Since 
freshly manured soil often causes divided roots, it is best to 
plant them in soil that has been richly fertilized the previous 
season. Plant the seed one-half inch deep in loose, well pre¬ 
pared soil, making rows 16 to 24 inches apart. Cultivate as 
soon as the plants are well established and thin to 2 or 4 inches 
in the row according to the size of the variety. Plantings may 
be made from early spring until mid-June. For winter storage 
the later date is advisable. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY 
70 days. New and very greatly improved selection. Identical 
in size and form with the Chantenay but its deep orange-red 
color goes through to the very center. The yellow rind usually 
found around the core of carrots has been bred out in this new 
variety and a much sweeter, richer flavor has been acquired, 
enough to fully establish its superiority. The superb color, 
fine quality, crispness and heavy yield all combined will un¬ 
doubtedly make this the most popular carrot variety on the 
list as soon as it becomes known. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts., oz. 15 
cts., Vi lb. 35 cts., 1 lb. $1.25. 
THE NEW IMPERATOR 
77 days. New. All-American Selection, Award of Merit 
Winner. Remarkable introduction which fills the great de¬ 
mand for a longer Carrot than Chantenay but with the quality 
of this short-rooted variety. Imperator has attractive roots, 
7 to 8 inches long, slightly tapering, sloping shoulders and 
just enough top to bunch well; a little longer root than Dan¬ 
vers. Imperator color is deep solid orange from the exterior 
all through to the middle of the root. It is prolific and of 
high quality, brittle, tender, sweet and delicate in flavor.
