CARROTS 
CULTURE—Carrots may be planted from March to Aug. 1. 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 a 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. 30c; 4 Ib. 90c; Ib. $2.75. 
GILL’S OREGON CHANTENAY — This variety 
has become a leader as a market carrot, either 
for bunching or sack. It is sold by some seedmen 
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. 
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 
exeeptionally 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 (See 
front cover). Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 4 Ib. $1.00; Ib. $3.00. 
TENDERSWEET—Very sweet and tender. Roots 
long and of deep red orange, tinged with red at 
the top. Very popular in the East. 
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.
