CARROT 
Culture—Like other root crops, the carrot likes a rich sandy loam, well filled. For early 
crops, SOW as soon as the ground can be tilled, say in April or early May. For late 
crops, sow in late June or July. Sow the seed 1/3 inch deep in drills 22 in. apart, 
thinning to three in. in the row. Carrot is slow to germinate and the soil must 
therefore be well firmed. One ounce for 300 feet of row; 2 pounds per acre.

Greater Chantenay—This is a recent development from the old 
Chantenay, and is 1 to 2 inches longer, in line with popular 
demand for longer carrots of recent years. It is smooth, with 
strong top, and resembles Chantenay in other respects.... $0.35 $0.95 $3.50 
Red Cored Chantenay (New). A fine introduction, improved 
in shape, color and uniformity, core is deep red colored 
and good edible quality throughout. 1 inch shorter. 70 days’ .35 95 3.50 
Selected Danvers. This is a very fancy selection of the old 
Danvers Half Long. It is only slightly stump-rooted, taper- 
ing more than Chantenay. Matures in about 78 days, being 
therefore about ten days later than Chantenay. This strain 
has proven to be a heavy yielder and makes a fine main 
crop sort. It is smaller in diameter than Chantenay...... 3. 95 3.50 
Imperator. A fine addition to Carrots of the bunching class. It 
is somewhat longer than Danvers Half-Long but differs 
from the tapering, pointed roots of most Carrots of that 
length in that Imperator is more stump-rooted. Its color is 
deep orange, both exterior and interior. The core is equally 
deep orange and small, and if raised in muck soil it will 
be the best selling carrot on the market both for bunching 
and busheling in the fall. It will outsell everything else.
