Carrots 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 3 pounds will sow an acre 
Chantenay Long. Like Chantenay Half-Long im all respects except that the root Is 
6/4 to 7 inches long. These uniform, smooth, clean, nicely colored roots have sub- 
stantial tops that will not break off after being bunched. Many grow this variety 
with great success on upland soils where it runs very uniform in size and shape, 
and holds its bright orange color. Our strain is specially selected. 
Chantenay Half-Long. Our strain is specially selected, with uniform, 5 to 54-inch 
clean roots, and nice bunching tops. A medium-early, half-Iong, smooth, blunt- 
rooted sort of deep orange-red color and delicate flavor. It is very popular for 
bunching and for frame use, allowing close planting. Shaped 214 inches broad 
at shoulder, tapering toward base and running suddenly to a point. 
Imperator. This is the long Carrot now being shipped from California. It is longer 
than Danvers, averaging 8 inches, but is more stump-rooted. Its color is deep 
orange. The core is equally deep orange and small. Its fine bunching tops and 
smooth, attractive, uniform roots are ideal for local market or for shipping. 
Morse’s Bunching. Slightly tapering, 
cylindrical roots, 8 by 114 inches, with 
half-stumped points. Short, coarse, 
strong tops and easily pulled. Flesh 
deep orange and coreless. Fine for 
Jong bunching Carrots. 
Nantes. Fine for frame use. The bright 
orange, smooth root Is cylindrical, 
614 inches Jong and 114 inches across, 
with very blunted end and small tap- 
root. The flesh is red, sweet, almost 
coreless and of unsurpassed quality. 
Nantes XXX. This, a de luxe strain ot 
the well-known Nantes, meets the 
most exacting needs for uniformity of 
form, size, and color. The cleaner, 
brighter orange, finer-textured roots 
average 7 inches long and 1144 inches 
across and are nearly coreless. The 
top is ordinarily small and short, but 
when grown on muck soil, tops grow 
larger. This makes it ideal for muck- 
soil bunching. Nantes XXX is care- 
fully selected each year to maintain 
its very high standard of quality. 
Our comparative trials have failed to 
show any strain which equals it. It 
is well worth the higher seed-cost. 
Perfection. A new longer-rooted Core- 
less type having fine color and real 
quality. The deep orange roots, 7-to 
8 inches Iong and 1% inches across, 
are smooth, cylindrical, blunt-ended 
and really coreless. They mature in 
70 to 72 days. The tops are medium 
small. Fine for topped Carrots im fall 
and early winter; also used for fall 
bunching.
