TENDERSWEET. The Swee * es t K| " d - The sweetest and finest carrot we have ever 
-- eaten. 11 has a richness and quality of flavor which we have found in 
no other variety. People who do not care for ordinary carrots are often very enthusiastic 
about “Tendersweet.” 
The carrots are large and tapering. The flesh is very deep orange in color, fine in texture 
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 pronounced 
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 roadside stands.

RED CORED CHANTENA Y. We have a very true stock of this fine variety which has become 
so popular with market gardeners, canners and home gardeners, in fact with all who want 
fine quality in carrots. 
The color is deep orange red right through to the center. The quality is very fine. Because of 
the fine quality, uniform deep color, and high yield this variety is very popular with canners. 
The carrots are very smooth and but a li t tie shorter than our Special Chantenay. This variety 
yields large crops. 
We strongly advise the use of this variety both in the home and commercial garden.

increasingly popular for fall use, both in home and market garden. The carrots resemble

of Perfection is very fine.

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. 
SUPREME HALF LONG " EW f- Coreless. An excellent home and market variety. In type it 
- closely resembles a refined Danvers Half Long, being tapering and 
slightly stump rooted. The flesh is smooth of fine quality and deep orange in color with a very small core. 
The tops are fairly small. This is an excellent new variety and we recommend it.
