Our Carrot Seeds Are All Selected and Can Be 
Depended Upon as They Have Been Tested 
CULTURE: For early use sow seeds when the ground is fit to work and for 
late crops and in sections with altitudes and climates about the same as Denver, 
carrots may be sown as late as July Ist. Sow the seed in rows 15 inches apart, 
and when 2 inches high it is best to thin out so that the plants stand 2 inches 
apart in the row, but for the shipping trade where a long, uniform, even, well 
colored carrot is desired a new method of planting and growing is found most 
practical; that is, to plant seed on beds 6 to 8 inches high, scattering the seed 
in rows 2 inches wide. This can easily be done by using a wide shoe on the 
drill. As the carrots begin to get a fair size the irrigation ditches are made 
deeper and the soil is banked higher around the crown of the carrot which 
prevents green crowns and the deeper ditches result in longer rooted carrots,

SHORT TOP SHIPPER. 75 days. A 
new strain bred for planting in dis- 
tricts where under certain weather 
conditions and rich soils, many va- 
rieties of carrots produce too large 
a top which is quite objectionable 
as a crating or shipping carrot. 
This carrot is bred for a shorter 
top, which is dark green, strong 
enough for good bunching. Roots 
long, deep orange, largely blunt 
ended. Flesh bright orange, ten- 
der and of good quality. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 40c) (% Ib. $1.40) (Ib. 
$5.00). 
IMPERATOR. 77 days. An out- 
standing type bred for market 
garden use and for shipping. Tops 
medium but strong enough for 
good bunching. Roots have slop- 
ing shoulders, smooth, deep rich 
orange; are long, uniformly tap- 
ered to a semi-blunt end. Flesh 
rich orange; extending to center of 
root, with indistinct core; fine 
grained, tender and of fine quality.

Long Type Chantenay 

TOUCHON. Small core, tops small, roots 
deep orange, cylindrical, stump-rooted, 
flesh bright orange, tender and sweet. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 40c) (% Ib. $1.25) (Ib. $4.25). 
SUPREME DANVERS. A longer, slimmer 
and smoother Danvers. Roots are deep 
orange, almost coreless, with smaller 
tops. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 40c) (% Ib. $1.25) (Ib. $4.25). 
STREAMLINER. An improved Imperator. 
More uniform, not as wide at the shoul- 
der as Imperator and also a little darker 
in color. Very few side roots. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 40c) (Y% Ib. $1.25) (Ib. $4.25). 
DANVERS RED CORE. 75 days. This is the 
same as regular Danvers Half Long, ex- 
cept it is different in that the core is 
smaller, which in turn means smaller 
tops. As an eating carrot it is superior. 
Is a good shipping variety. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 40c) (14 Ib. $1.15) (Ib. $4.00). 
DANVERS HALF LONG. (Our Selected 
Strain.) 75 days. The best known, most 
popular, all purpose carrot. It is most 
largely grown on account of its great 
productiveness and adaptability to all 
classes of soil. Tops medium size, roots 
vary in size as to soil conditions and 
time left to grow, but generally they are 
8 to 10 inches in length, tapering uniform- 
ly to a slightly blunt point, smooth and 
handsome. Popular with market garden- 
ers and commercial growers for bunch- 
ing and shipping. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 35¢) (% Ib. $1.15) (Ib. $4.25). 
CARROTS FOR STOCK 
FEEDING 
Carrots make a healthy and desirable 
food for stock, and every stock owner should 
plant them liberally, so as to give his stock 
an occasional feed of carrots through the 
winter as an alternative food which is of 
decided benefit. Plant in March, April or 
May—the earlier the better—at the rate of 
2 to 4 pounds per acre. 
LONG ORANGE, IMPROVED. A heavy 
cropping sort for garden use and for 
stock. Roots tapered to a point; red- 
orange in color. 
(Pkt. 5c) (oz. 20c) (14 lb. 60c) (lb. $2.00). 
YELLOW BELGIAN. Verv similar to White 
Belgian, except for color. Pale yellow 
skin, with green top; hardy and produc- 
tive. 
(Pkt. 5c) (oz. 20c) (14 Ib. 60c) (Ib. $1.90). 
MASTODON or WHITE BELGIAN. This 
abundant yielder is strictly a stock car- 
rot and grows to be of very large size 
and partly above ground. Flesh is light 
cream color, skin above ground is green 
and is white below ground. Is a good 
Ree er: Plant 2 Ibs. to the acre of this 
seed.
