CARROTS 
One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of row, a packet 30 feet, 2 to 4 pounds will sow an acre. 

<< \ ae Refined modern varieties, such as Nantes, Tendersweet, Supreme Half Long, etc., are 
a ee all so much finer in texture and of milder flavor that there is no comparison with the older 
kinds. Modern carrots are a really delicious vegetable eaten either cooked or raw. A few 
rows will supply all you want, as you can thin out the small ones for early use and let the 
rest grow for fall and winter. 
Carrots can be sown from early spring to the middle of summer. The earlier they are 
sown the larger the crop as a rule, but late sowings produce nice carrots for fall. 
Carrots for Fall. If Nantes (Coreless) Carrots are sown in August they will make carrots 
about the size of one’s finger for fall use. These are extremely delicious eaten raw or cooked 
whole with butter sauce. 
315 NANTES. Coreless. One of the very best carrots grown. The exceptionally fine 
quality and smooth attractive shape have made it a universal favorite 
for both home use and market. 
Nantes is ready to use earlier than any other kind, and it has a delicious flavor com- 
bined with a sweet melting tenderness that delights everyone who tries them. See photo 
and full description on page 3.

316 NANTES. Strong Top Strain. (New.) This fine coreless strain of Nantes has been 
especially bred for stronger tops so that they do not break off as easily when pulled for 
bunching. The tops are no larger but they are heavier at the crown, a distinct advantage 
for both market and home gardeners. 
The roots are of the same fine type, smooth and attractive and the quality is just as 
good in every way. This strain has even better colored roots than the regular and we 
recommend it highly.

305 CHANTENAY. Special Strain. Long. Still the most popular carrot for general 
use and market. The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, tapering slightly and are quite 
stump-rooted. The color is a rich orange and the roots are fine grained, smooth and 
of fine quality. 
We offer a very uniform strain which grows an inch longer than the usual Chantenay, 
which gives the carrots a very handsome shape and appearance. Commercial growers and 
home gardeners alike are delighted with the vigor, fine yield and good quality of thisstrain.

320 RED CORED CHANTENAY. We havea very true stock of this fine variety which has 
become so popular with market gardeners, canners and home gardeners. 
The color of the flesh is deep orange extending right through to the center. The quality 
is very fine. Because of the fine quality, uniform deep color, and high yield this variety is 
very popular with canners. The carrots are very smooth and but a little shorter than our 
Special Chantenay. This variety yields large crops and is grown considerably on muck. 
For the home garden this variety is 
especially valuable as it succeeds under a 
wide range of conditions and does not 
eS ae require as deeply plowed soil as some of the

312 IMPERATOR. This is the fine quality bunching carrot that comes into our markets from California 
and has proved to be an excellent .bunch carrot to grow in the East. The roots grow 8 inches long, are 
smooth and slightly tapering. They closely resemble Morse’s Bunching in shape. The color is deep 
orange and extends right to the center, with a very small core. The tops are just right for bunching.

308 DANVERS HALF LONG. This is a very well known and dependable main crop or late carrot with 
roots about 7 or 8 inches long, tapering to the bottom. Its shape makes it easy to harvest and it is 
valuable for stock feeding as well as for market. Very heavy yields are often obtained, a thousand 
bushels per acre being not at all unusual. Our stock is the most uniform obtainable.

rior stock of this popular New England variety. It is a large and very productive variety and is espe- 
cially valuable for busheling. The roots are 8 to 10 inches long, nearly the same size the whole length,

are tapering, slightly stump-rooted, and grow about an inch 
longer than our Chantenay Special. The flesh is smooth, of fine quality and deep orange in color 
throughout as there is practically no core. The tops are not large but are strong enough for bunching.
