Golden Carrots, served cooked or raw, are a welcome delica_cy on a 
menu the year around. If you have a sandy corner in your garden, sow 
your Carrots there for the smoothest roots. Several rows reseeded at 
regular intervals from early spring through July, will provide you with 
a good supply of this garden favorite. Don t neglect to thin the plants 
to a distance of several inches apart. Gardeners classify Carrot seed

“Coreless” Chantenay. (Red Cored Chantenay.) Growers have been 
looking for a coreless Carrot of the Chantenay type. Here it is at last. 
Instead of the light colored core which has always shown in the 
Chantenay and Danvers, this new strain has the deep orange-red color 
through to the center. The Carrots are the same size as Chantenay and 
will yield just as abundantly. The strain we offer is very smooth and 
uniform in shape. We urge every grower, large or small, to grow our 
“Coreless” Chantenay Carrot.

Nantes. This is one of the best early varieties and particularly adapt¬ 
able to the home garden as a bunching kind as well as top Carrot for 
the market. Roots are 6 to 7 inches long, same the whole length, 
smooth and stump rooting, giving them a very attractive appearance. 
The deep orange color extends through the whole Carrot. Nantes has 
practically no core and is exceptionally sweet and tender. A great 
favorite for eating raw as well as cooked.

One ounce will give from 1300 to 2000 good strong plants. 
Early and late Cauliflower plants are grown the same as Cabbage. 
Richness of soil and evenness of moisture are essential to the best cul¬ 
ture. When the heads have developed to several inches in diameter, draw 
the leaves together at the top and tie with a soft string. Mix Peat Moss 
with the soil in your plant bed for better roots and sturdier plants. 
Holmes' Snowball. This excellent variety has stood up under tests 
that have equalled any variety that has been introduced. We recom¬ 
mend it for both home gardeners and market. It will produce fine, 
attractive heads Although an early variety, Snowball has proven to 
be excellent for late and main crop. It is dwarf and the compact heads 
are large, deep, solid and snow-white and with a tight curd. We know 
that you will be well pleased with Holmes’ Snowball.

Snowdrift. (Also called Improved Holland, Erfurt and White Moun¬ 
tain.) This grand variety is noted for its extremely white heads. The 
heads are outstanding, due to being large and deep and with a fine 
tight curd. The plants have large leaves and cover the heads extremely 
well. This improved strain has conquered the market by leaps and 
bounds. During the past year our strain has shown to be among the 
leaders for true stock. You will not regret planting Snowdrift.
