10 ALNEER BROTHERS RELIABLE sEEDS, ROCKFORD, ILL. 
Carrots thrive best in warm, light soil, enriched with well rotted 
manure. Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared, 
in drills 15 inches apart; cover the seeds about one-half inch deep, 
and thin to from 3 to 5 inches in the row. In field culture when grown 
for horses and cattle, the rows should be two feet apart, so that the 
crop can be worked with horse and cultivator. 
The greatest feature of this new 
Early Coreless variety is the entire absence 
of the stringy, coarse heart or core found in all other 
Carrots. It is of most delicious quality, and, owing 
to the fine texture of the red flesh and its,tender, 
delicate flavor, is called the sweetest of all Carrots by 
all who have tasted same. Matures about two weeks 
ahead of all other half long sorts, and equally as pro- 
ductive. Measures 6 to 7 inches in length. Pkt. 8c, 
oz. 15c, 1% Ib. 55c, VY Ib. $1.00, Ib. $1.90.
