CARROTS 
CULTURE—Carrots may be planted from March to June. 
We prefer to plant from May 10 to 25; 
they will then miss many of the spring weeds and will stand through the dry season better, making a 
better quality of roots. 
Plant in rows 214 feet apart covering one-half to one inch, according to weather 
conditions. Those who plant any quantity should use a good drill, as it lessens the work and gives 2 more 
even stand. As soon as they are up, use a wheel hoe, following this with a harrow tooth cultivator. 
PRICES—Unless noted are uniformly: Postpaid. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 4 Ib. $1.10; Ib. $3.75. 
GILL’S OREGON CHANTENAY — This variety 
has become a leader as a market carrot, either 
for bunching or sack. It is sold by some seed men 
as Long Chantenay and Greater Chantenay. We 
are the originators. A special strain of our selec- 
tion producing very smooth roots about one inch 
longer than the regular strain and of more even 
diameter the whole length of the carrot. It is very 
popular with gardeners. The tops are of medium 
size, tough and wiry, hence the carrots seldom 
break from the bunches. The roots are rich red 
color with small core. Very high quality. Postpaid. 
Pkt. 10c; $ oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 3% Ib. $1.10; Ib. $3.50. 
* GILL’S SPECIAL NANTES —The roots are 
bright orange, 6 to 8 inches long and _ very 
uniform. They have a very small core and 
are exceptionally tender and sweet. The roots are 
rather slender, of even diameter and of early 
maturity. Very desirable for market, especially 
for bunching, and also splendid for the home 
garden. We offer a fine, re-selected strain grown 
from our stock seed. This variety is very popular 
with market gardeners. The tops are larger and 
stronger than the regular strains of Nantes or Core- 
less and this has not ‘reduced the quality. 
STREAMLINER — Long slender type. Excellent 
quality. Deep orange in color. 
IMPERATOR—A good market carrot. Roots long, 
smooth and of rich red color with small core. 
TABLE GEM—We believe this to be the finest of 
all table carrots. The roots are 5 to 6 inches long, 
of even diameter and blunt ends. It is nearly 
coreless, exceptionally tender and sweet and is 
delicious eaten raw. It is very early and the tops 
are small. Suited for forcing or outside culture. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN—Very early with small 
tops. Orange red; three inches long and top shaped. 
DANVER’S HALF LONG, RED CORED—A great- 
ly improved strain of this old variety. Deep 
orange red right through to the center. Heavy 
yielding; excellent quality. 
MORSE’S BUNCHING—Long;, almost cylindrical 
roots. Good color and quality. Popular bunching 
earrot for market. 
CHANTENAY—A good, all around carrot. The 
roots are smooth, stump rooted and good quality. 
RED CORED CHANTENAY—This strain has a 
deeper red core and is popular with canners.

SWEET CORN 
The first requisite for success with corn is acclimated seed — Note those with star. 
CULTURE—Prices paid for first early corn will pay the grower to take chances on early planting. 
For this planting use 4 to 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches, and rows 
31% feet, allowing two stalks to the hill or as some prefer, and we think this gives the best results, plant 
15 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk; this gives all the stalks an even show. April 1 to May 1 
is a good season for early corn, of course, depending on the weather. May 15th to 25th is good for the 
later sorts, as they do not resist damp, cold weather so well as the early sorts. 
Corn will not fill well unless the patch planted is blocked out; those planting small quantities 
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This will permit the pollen to blow down on the silk, 
fertilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in succession up to June 25. Use Victory Garden fertilizer. 
Open Pollinated Varieties 
PRICES—Unless noted are uniformly: Postpaid. 
Pkt. 10c; 4 Ib. 25c; Ib. 40c. Not prepaid, Ib. 35c; 
in any one variety, 5 Ibs. @ 30c; 10 Ibs. @ 28c. 
*GILL’S EARLY GOLDEN SWEET — Earliest of 
the golden varieties. Ears average about the same 
size as Improved Bantam with stalks three and 
one-half feet tall. We recommend this for mar- 
ket and home gardens. The sweetest first early 
variety we have tested. The best and earliest high 
quality first early sort. 
*GILL’S IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM — 
Superior to the original Golden Bantam in 
auality and nearly twice the _ size, also one 
week earlier. Nearly all ears carry 12 rows of 
deep, rich golden yellow kernels set close upon 
the cob. Do not compare this with the original 
strain, as it is far superior in every respect, and 
any gardener who places this corn on the market 
will command better sales and prices. 
It has no superior for market, table, canning or 
drying. Remember, we are the originators of this 
improved strain and continue our careful stock seed 
selections each year. If you wish the up-to-date 
selection buy direct from us. We have received 
many letters of praise for this corn and many of 
our customers will have nothing else. 
*GOLDEN GIANT—Large, golden yellow ears of 
high quality. Matures about ten days after Im- 
proved Golden Bantam. Popular yellow corn for 
late markets. A really first class variety.
