CARROTS 
Sow seed thinly in early spring in rows not less than 12 in. apart and make succession 
sowings every two weeks up to the early part of July. Cover with % in. of fine soil. 
Thin the small early varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the row and the larger later 
varieties from 3 to 4in. A rich, mellow, deeply worked soil gives the finest carrots. 
For nice, tender carrots in the fall or for winter storing, sow seed from the middle of 
June to first of July. A pkt. will sow about 40 ft. of row; an oz. about 200 ft.

75 days. Our special strain of Red Cored Chantenay. Selected for 
uniformity, trueness to type, deep exterior and interior color, and a 
small, indistinct core. Roots are 5 to 5% in. long and 2% in. thick at 
the shoulder, very gradually tapering to an abrupt stump end. Flesh 
is fine grained, tender, and of a delicate, sweet flavor. One of the better 
varieties for planting where the soil is heavier than is desirable for root 
crops, but at the same time will grow other vegetables. Popular with 
canners, commercial growers, and home gardeners because of heavy yield, 
all-round excellence and the bright golden orange flesh clear to the center. 
Skin is an attractive orange-scarlet. Goldinhart Carrot always sells
