CARROT 
A light deep soil is best, preferably fertilized the previous season, otherwise enriched with old 
manure; new manure and lack of cultivation lead to split and crooked roots. Sow a succession of 
plantings in rows 14” or more apart, thinning out later to 2”-3” between plants. Allow one ounce 
of seed for 200 ft. of row; 3 lb', for an acre. 
Imperator—first set the style and 
is now the standard for long, 
slim carrots 
Chantenay, Red Core: 72 days. Somewhat shorter than Chante- 
nay. Reddish orange flesh with little core. Strong tops. Very 
desirable either for market or for canning diced carrots. 
Danvers Half Long: 75 days. An outstanding selection of this 
important shipping and local market sort. Bright orange roots, 
medium in length and shape. Crisp and of good quality. 
^ Danvers Red Core, Asgrow Strain: A specially selected long 
strain of Danvers which has been well received on markets where 
the redder core is desired. 
^Imperator: 77 days. All-America Silver Medal 1933. Specially 
developed to meet the demand of the critical market for a long, 
smooth, handsome carrot. Tops are medium and just right for 
bunching. Roots have rounded shoulders and taper uniformly to 
a semi-blunt end, 7"-8" long, rich orange in section, with indis¬ 
tinct core; fine grained, tender, sweet and of excellent quality. 
This new variety so nearly meets market growers’ and shippers’ 
specifications of the ideal carrot that in many sections it has 
practically displayed all other varieties. See illustration on front 
cover. 
* Improved Chantenay: 72 days. A well-known and popular all¬ 
purpose variety, shorter and thicker than Asgrow Imperator, 
5 "-6" long, stump-rooted, deep orange with indistinct core. 
Long Orange: 88 days. Large and productive; for table or stock. 
Nantes Improved Coreless: 70 days. Excellent for forcing. 
Oxheart (or Guerande): 72 days. Stocky blunt roots for home use 
or stock feed. 
Short Top Shipper: 75 days. An Asgrow strain with short, strong 
tops specially developed to meet the needs of produce shippers. 
White Belgian: 95 days. For stock feed. Grows partly above ground and is easily harvested. 
Yellow Belgian: 95 days. Similar to White Belgian except for its pale yellow color. 
COLLARD 
Cabbage Collard: Medium tall with loose heads 
of fine quality. 
Georgia: Our strain is the true Georgia or South¬ 
ern Collard. Thrifty and vigorous. 
^Louisiana Sweet: An attractive new strain of 
the old Georgia collard; tall and hardy with a 
cluster of thick, tender leaves on a long stem.
