The picture above shows our Special Strong Top Nantes Improved Carrot as grown by a cus- 
tomer in Holley, N. Y. We believe this to be the very best cylinder-shaped Carrot for either the 
home garden or for market. 
CARROTS for FARM and GARDEN 
Any good land, thoroughly worked, will produce a satisfactory crop of Carrots. Sow as early 
in spring as possible, though good crops may be grown from seed sown as late as the middle 
of June. 
For table use, sow smaller kinds early, in rows 16 inches apart; for field growing, in 
drills 18 to 24 inches apart. Cover one-half to one inch deep and press soil down firmly above 
the seed. Thin 2 to 6 inches apart, according to size of variety. When preparing Carrots for the 
table, wash and scrape them, never peel; the best flavor and color are near the skin. 
* Chantenay Red-Cored. This is the 
best large coreless Carrot for both the home 
garden and for market. The roots are about 6 
inches long and 2 inches thick at the shoulders, 
smooth, reddish orange, tapered and blunt 
ended. The bright, clear orange flesh is fine- 
grained, tender and sweet, with practically no 
core. Grown for sale at roadside stands, public 
markets and to canners who ‘‘dice’’ them. We 
are particularly proud of this strain of Red- 
Cored Chantenay. It has proven its top quality 
in many competitive trials and in the gardens 
of critical vegetable growers.

* Supreme. A Really Big Carrot of Splendid 
Quality. The roots are 7 to 7'% inches long, 
about 2 inches across at the top and taper to a 
rather blunt end. They are smooth and clear 
orange outside. The flesh is tender, sweet and 
of very fine flavor. The core is small and of the 
same dark orange as the rest of the flesh. We 
especially recommend this where great tonnage 
is wanted.

Touchon. A very high quality Carrot for both 
hcme and market garden. Long, cylinder- 
shaped roots similar to Nantes but a little 
longer. Tops are strong, making it easy to pull. 
Flesh is deep orange, very sweet and never 
woody.

Be sure and thin out your rows of Carrots 
before they get so large they crowd each 
other. You can’t grow large, well formed 


Carrots unless you aive them room to grow in.

of row; 1 ounce, 300 feet; about 3 pounds, an 
acre.

best fong, slender-shapéd Carrot for the gar-

to be unexcelled either for back-yard garden 
growing or for market. Roots 7 to 8 inches 
long, smooth and blunt-pointed, just about 
cylindrical in shape and bright orange in color. 
Flesh is bright orange and of the highest qual- 
ity. This Carrot is often called ‘‘Coreless’’ Car-
