Carroten (Ger.) CARROTS Carota (It.) 
One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of row, a packet 60 feet, 2 to 4 pounds ivill sow an acre. 
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 with 
the older kinds. Modern carrots are a really delicious vegetable eaten either cooked or 
raw. 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 ( 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.

TENDERSWEET. The Sweetest Kind. The 
sweetest and finest carrot we have ever eaten. 
It h as 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 carrots are large and tapering with the 
flesh a very deep orange in color, fine in tex¬ 
ture and practically “coreless.” Tendersweet 
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 pro¬ 
nounced deep red coloring at the base. 
The fine quality makes this an outstanding 
variety for the home garden and it is becoming 
more popular each year for market and road¬ 
side stands.

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

Carrot. This excellent carrot is becoming in¬ 
creasingly popular for fall use, both in home

Coreless 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.
