Imperator 
a THIs IS an outstanding type of carrot that is ideal for home and garden use. The roots are 
seven to eight and a half inches in length, and one and three-fourths to two inches in diameter. 
They are smooth and uniformly tapered to a semi-blunt end. The flesh is a rich orange color 
with an indistinct core, tender, fine grained and of the best quality. The tops are medium and 
well suited for bunching. As soon as the soil can be worked, carrots should be planted in rows 
not less than 12 inches apart. A quarter ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of row, and three 
pounds will sow an acre. The seed should be covered about one-half inch deep and the plants 
thinned to stand two to three inches apart. Successive plantings can be made every two weeks 
until midsummer. Carrots may be easily stored for winter use in the same manner as beets.
