CARROTS 
One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of row, a packet 30 feet, 2 to 4 pounds will sow an acre. 
Refined modern varieties, such as Nantes, Tendersweet, Supreme Half Long, etc., 
are all so much finer in texture and of milder flavor that there is no comparison with the 
older kinds. Modern carrots are a really delicious vegetable eaten either cooked or 
raw. A few rows will supply all you want, as you can thin out the small ones for early 
use and let the rest grow for fall and winter. 
Carrots can be sown from early spring to the middle of summer. The earlier they are 
sown the larger the crop as a rule, but late sowings produce nice carrots for fall. 
Carrots for Fall. If Nantes (Coreless) Carrots are sown in August they will make 
carrots about the size of one’s finger for fall use. These are extremely delicious eaten 
raw or cooked whole with butter sauce. 
SUPREME HALF LONG. Coreless. An excellent new home and mar- 
ket variety. The roots are tapering, ‘slightly 
stump rooted, and grow about an inch longer than our Chantenay Special. The flesh 
is smooth, of fine quality and deep orange in color throughout as there is practically 
no core. The tops are fairly small. This is an excellent new variety of the highest 
quality and we recommend it.

CHANTENAY. (Special Strain.) Long. Still the most popular carrot for general use 
and market. The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, tapering slightly and are quite stump- 
rooted. The color is deep orange and the roots are fine grained, smooth and of fine 
quality. We offer a very uniform strain which grows an inch longer than the usual 
Chantenay. Growers find this fine for bunching. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY. We have a very true stock of this fine variety which 
has become so popular with market gardeners, canners and home gardeners. 
The color is deep orange with a self-colored core. The quality is very fine. Because 
of the fine quality, uniform deep color, and high yield this variety is very popular 
with canners. The carrots are very smooth and but a little shorter than our Special 
Chantenay. This variety yields large crops and is grown considerably on muck. 
Westrongly advise the use of this variety both in the home and commercial garden. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 44 Lb. $1.05; Lb. $3.40. 
PERFECTION. This excellent carrot is becoming increasingly popular for fall use, 
both in home and market garden. The carrots resemble Nantes in shape, but are 
nearly two inches longer. There is no “core” as the deep orange color extends right 
through to the center. The quality is very fine. Perfection requires a longer season to 
reach its full maturity than Nantes. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 144 Lb. $1.05; Lb. $3.40.

and has proved to be an excellent bunch carrot to grow in the East. The roots grow 8 in. long, are 
smooth and slightly tapering. They closely resemble Morse’s Bunching in shape. The color is deep orange 
and extends right to the center, and with a very small core. The tops are just right for bunching.

and it is a very popular kind as a topped carrot for market. 
The roots grow fully six inches long, the same size the whole length, with a smooth waxy look that 
makes them very attractive. The color is deep orange, and there is practically no core. This carrot is 
so sweet and tender that it is a great favorite for eating raw, as well as cooked.

unusual. Our stock is the most uniform obtainable.

“It gives me great pleasure to advise you that last season I raised the Sinest vegetables I ever grew in my 
garden.” 
“T have been buying seeds for the last 20 years, but I have never had the Sine results as I did with your 
seeds. Your catalog describes the vegetables in such a realistic manner that one knows just what kind of seeds 
to buy for his garden with the assurance that the finished product will be exactly as described.”
