To produce long smooth carrots, the soil must be 
loose, free from stones and hard lumps, and worked 
deep. Carrot seed is small and should be sown shallow, 
preferably after a rain. Sow thinly as the carrots 
should be thinned to 2 to 3 inches. Carrots may be 
sown from early in the spring to July 15th. 
$2.00 a ton above the market on ten acres of carrots—a grower in 
Stanley, New York, did this with our Red Cored Chantenay. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY; 70 days. The can- 
ners and soup companies use a large proportion of 
the late carrot crop of New York State. They want 
a large chunky carrot of the Chantenay type but 
have always objected to the light colored core. Red 
Cored Chantenay is a strain of this old variety and 
has a core practically as dark in color as the sur¬ 
rounding meat. The core is also less woody than 
some of the old strains. The roots are 5^ to 5 
inches long, 23 < inches thick at the top. Stump 
rooted, deep orange flesh. Not a good bunching 
variety. We have supplied our growers with the 
same strain of Red Cored Chantenay ever since it 
came on the market. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; klb. 
30 cts.; lb. 90 cts.; 10 lbs. $8.55. 
LONG CHANTENAY: 70 days. 1 inch longer than 
Chantenay. For further description, see page 3 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; X lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.00; 
10 lbs. $8.50. 
Sand for Winter 
CHANTENAY: 70 days. Some growers feel that they 
get a little larger tonnage from Chantenay than from 
the Red Cored Chantenay. Frankly, we are not 
sure. The Chantenay does not have the uniform 
red core but each year is showing a greater percent¬ 
age of red core. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 30 
cts.; lb. 90 cts.; 10 lbs. $8.55, 
DANVERS HALF LONG: 75 days. This is one of the 
standard large bunching carrots. It is longer than 
Chantenay but not so thick. 6 to 7 inches long, 1X 
inches thick. Flesh deep orange; good quality; not 
red cored. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz, 15 cts.; X lb. 30 cts.; 
lb. 90 cts.; 10 lbs. $8.55. 
SUPREME HALF LONG: 75 days. A smooth Dan¬ 
vers Half Long. For further description, see page 3. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; X lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 
10 lbs. $11.00. 
BUNCHING: 77 days. A long, smooth, stump rooted 
bunching variety. For further description, see page 3. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; X lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 
10 lbs. $11.00. 
HUTCHINSON: 80 days. Used largely in New Eng¬ 
land and Long Island. Very prolific. Length of root 
10 to 12 inches; diameter 2 inches. A deep orange 
color with greenish shoulder; nearly cylindrical and 
stump rooted with flesh of deep orange. Tender and 
of good quality. Tops medium. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
25 cts.; X lb. 75 cts.; lb. $1.90. 
IMPERATOR: 77 days. Bred for home garden use 
and for bunching, 'fops medium, but strong. Roots 
have sloping shoulders, are .smooth, and deep rich 
orange in color and are tapered to a semi-blunt end. 
Flesh rich orange color, fine grained, tender and of 
fine quality The roots are 7 to 8X inches long, IX 
to 2 inches thick at the top. Imperator requires a 
loose deep soil to produce the long tapering carrots 
that you see on the market. On our heavier soils 
there is a big variation in size and shape. Pkt. 10 
cts.; oz. 20 cts.; X lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.30; 10 lbs. 
$12.35. 
NANTES: 68 days. For the home garden and market 
where quality counts, we recommend Nantes. The 
roots are 6 to 7 inches long, 1X inches thick at top 
and almost the same diameter the whole length. 
The quality is better than the larger varieties. Color 
of flesh bright orange with a very inconspicuous core. 
1 he top is rather small and inclined to be brittle and 
so does not bunch well. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 
X lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.30; 10 lbs. $12.50. 
Not only is Nantes a superior home garden carrot but it is becoming 
more popular every year as a market variety.

Long Chantenay carrot seed is extra fine stock for muck- 
land; both as to type and yield. I expect to use some next year.”
