To produce long smooth carrots, the soil must be 
loose, free from stones and hard lumps, and worked 
deep. Carrot seed is small and should be sown shallow, 
preferably after a rain. Sow thinly as the carrots 
should be thinned to 2 to 3 inches. Carrots may be 
sown from early in the spring to July 15th. 
*x NANTES: 68 days. For the home garden and mar- 
ket where quality counts, we recommend Nantes. 
The roots are 6 to 7 inches long, 1% inches thick at 
top and almost the same diameter the whole length. 
The quality is better than the larger varieties. Color 
of flesh bright orange with a very inconspicuous core. 
The top is rather small and inclined to be brittle and 
so does not bunch well. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; 
% |b. $1.35; lb. $4.50. 
BUNCHING: 77 days. An exceptionally smooth 
type carrot which grows 8 inches long by 1% to 
1% inches in diameter. Nearly cylindrical, with 
rounded shoulder and stump roots. The top is short 
but strong. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; % lb. $1.35; 
Ib. $4.50. 
SUPREME HALF LONG: 75 days. An improved 
Danvers Half Long. In Supreme Half Long we have 
a medium long, smooth, gradually tapered carrot 
with 80% of the roots showing red core. The top is 
somewhat weaker than Danvers and this may make 
it less desirable for bunching. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 40 
cts.; % lb. $1.25; lb. $4.00. 
DANVERS HALF LONG: 75 days. This is one of the 
standard large bunching carrots. It is longer than 
Chantenay but not so thick. 6 to 7 inches long, 134 
inches thick. Flesh deep orange: good quality; not 
red cored. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; 4% lb. $1.00; 
lb. $3.00; 10 Ibs. $29.00. 
HUTCHINSON: 80 days. Used largely in New Eng- 
land and Long Island. Very prolific. Length of root 
10 to 12 inches; diameter 2 inches. A deep orange 
color with greenish shoulder; nearly cylindrical and 
stump rooted with flesh of deep orange Tender and 
of good quality. Tops medium. Pkt. 15 cts.; 
oz. 40 cts.; % lb. $1.25; Ib. $4.00. 
*x RED CORED CHANTENAY: 70 days. The can- 
ners and soup companies use a large proportion of 
the late carrot crop of New York State. They want 
a large chunky carrot of the Chantenay type but 
have always objected to the light colored core. Red 
Cored Chantenay is a strain of this old variety and 
has a core practically as dark in color as the sur- 
rounding meat. The core is also less woody than 
some of the old strains. The roots are 5% to 6 
inches long, 2% inches thick at the top. Stump 
rooted, deep orange flesh. Not a good bunching 
Sey Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 4% lb. $1.35; lb. 
4.50. 
CHANTENAY: 70 days. Some growers feel that they 
get a little larger tonnage from Chantenay than from 
the Red Cored Chantenay. Frankly, we are not 
sure. The Chantenay does not have the uniform 
red core but each year is showing a greater percent- 
age of red core. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; % lb. 
$1.25; Ib. $4.00. 
LONG CHANTENAY: 70 days. There has been 
an increasing demand for a Chantenay carrot 
that will grow longer than the red cored type. 
We now have a “Long Chantenay”™ that we believe 
will at least partially fill this need. It grows fully an 
inch longer than “Red Cored”; is equally as smooth 
but only about 65% of the carrots show a red core. 
This variety will give a very heavy yield of fine market 
carrots but should not be grown for sale to a canning 
factory that discriminates on interior color. Pkt. 
15 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; % Ib. $1.25; lb. $4.00. 
IMPERATOR: 77 days. Tops medium, but strong. 
Roots have sloping shoulders, are smooth, and deep 
rich orange in color and are tapered to a semi-blunt 
end. Flesh rich orange color, fine grained, tender 
and of fine quality. The roots are 7 to 8% inches 
long, 134 to 2 inches thick at the top. Imperator re- 
quires a loose deep soil to produce the long tapering 
carrots that you see on the market. On our heavier 
soils there is a big variation in size and shape. Pkt. 15 
cts.; oz. 45 cts.; % lb. $1.35; lb. $4.50.
