Carrots 
Our Carrot Seeds Are All Selected and Can Be 
Depended Upon as They Have Been Tested. 
Culture: The carrot will do well in any good well worked 
soil, but a light, loose soil is best. For early use sow seed 
when the ground is fit to work and for late crops and in 
sections with altitudes and climate about the same as 
Denver, carrots may be sown as late as June 25th. Sow 
the seed in rows 15 inches apart, and when 2 inches high 
it is best to thin out so that the plants stand 2 inches 
apart in the row, but for the shipping trade where a long, 
uniform, even, well colored carrot is desired a new method 
of planting and gi'owing is found most practical; that is, 
to plant seed on beds 6 to 8 inches high, scattering the 
seed in rows 2 inches wide. This can easily be done by 
using a wide shoe on the drill and as the carrots begin 
to get a fair size the irrigation ditches are made deeper 
and the soil is banked higher around the crown of the 
carrot which prevents green crowns and the deeper ditches 
result in longer rooted carrots. 
Nantes Improved. 70 days. Excellent for home and mar¬ 
ket garden use. Tops small, not strong enough for good 
bunching. Roots bright orange, cylindrical, blunt ended. 
Flesh reddish orange, crisp, tender and of very delicate 
flavor. Practically coreless. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Va liJ-i 
35c; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid. 
Chantenay, Long Type. 72 days. A very flne new carrot 
for home and market garden as well as shipping. Medium 
early. Same as the regular Chantenay but roots are 
longer, more cylindrical giving it a fine appearance. 
Flesh crisp and tender, deep orange in color; small core; 
good, strong top of medium height. Pkt., 5c;'oz., 15c; 
1/4 lb., 30c; lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $4.25, postpaid. 
Short Top Shipper. 75 days. A new strain bred for plant¬ 
ing in districts where under certain weather conditions 
and rich soils, many varieties of carrots produce too 
large a top which is quite objectionable as a crating or 
shipping carrot. This carrot is bred for a shorter top, 
which is dark green, strong enough for good bunching. 
Roots long, deep orange, largely blunt ended. Flesh 
bright orange, tender and of good quality. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 15c; 1/4 lb., 40c; lb. $1.10; 5 lbs., $4.75, postpaid. 
Danvers Half Long. (Our Selected Strain.) 75 days. The 
best known, most popular, all purpose carrot. It is most 
largely grown on account of its great productiveness and 
adaptability to all classes of soil. Tops medium size, roots 
vary in size as to soil conditions and time left to grow, 
but generally they are 8 to 10 inches in length, tapering 
uniformly to a slightly blunt point, smooth and hand¬ 
some. Popular with market gardeners and commercial 
growers for bunching and shipping. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
1/4 lb., 30c; lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $4.25, postpaid. 
Danvers Red Core. 75 days. This is the same as regular 
Danvers Half Long, except it is different in that the 
core is smaller, which in turn means smaller tops. As 
an eating carrot it is superior. Is a good shipping va¬ 
riety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 30c; lb., 90c; 5 lbs., 
$4.25, postpaid. 
Imperator. 77 days. An outstanding type bred for 
market garden use and for shipping. Tops medium 
but strong enough for good bunching. Roots have slop¬ 
ing shoulders, smooth, deep rich orange; are long, uni¬ 
formly tapered to a semi-blunt end. Flesh rich orange; 
extending to center of root, with indistinct core; fine 
grained, tender and of fine quality. Pkt., 6 c; oz., 15c; 
1/4 lb., 30c; lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $4.25, postpaid. 
Oxheart or Guerande. 72 days. Desirable for home use; 
heavy cropper and a good keeper. Roots bright orange, 
thick, blunt ended, of heart shape. Flesh deep orange; 
small tops. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 30c; lb., 90c; 5 lbs., 
$4.25. 
Carrots for Stock Feeding 
Carrots make a healthy and desirable food for stock, 
and every stock owner should plant them liberally, so as 
to give his stock an occasional feed of carrots through 
the winter as an alternative food which is of decided 
benefit. Plant in March, April or May—the earlier the 
better—at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre. 
Mastodon or White Belgian. This abundant yieider is 
strictly a stock carrot and grows to be of very large size 
and partly above ground. Flesh is light cream color, 
skin above ground is green and is white below ground. 
Is a good keeper. Plant 2 lbs. to the acre of this seed. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1/4 lb., 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid. 
Long Orange, Improved. A heavy cropping sort for garden 
use and for stock. Roots tapered to a point; red-orange, 
in color. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid. 
Yellow Belgian. Very similar to White Belgian, except for 
color. Pale yellow skin, with green top; hardy and 
productive. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi 25c; lb., 75c, post¬ 
paid.
