24 BURPEE’S GOLDINHART CARROTS 
70 days. Our special strain of Red Cored Chantenay. Selected for uni- 
formity, 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 plant- 
ing 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. Burpee’s Goldinhart Carrot always sells readily in market.

How te Grow Carrot 
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, mel- 
low, 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 30 ft. of row; an oz. about 200 ft.
