Slate’s Good Seeds and Prompt Service, South Boston, Virginia 

Carrots 
Sow in a rich, sandy loam which has been well 
manured the previous year. The soil should be 
thoroughly pulverized before seeding, because the seed 
are very small, and there is danger of covering them 
too deep. Sow in drills 24 inches apart at the rate of 
one ounce to every 100 feet of row. After the plants 
attain some size, thin them to 3 or 4 inches apart and 
give frequent shallow cultivation. The time for seed- 
ing extends from early spring to the middle of the 
summer. 
145—DANVER’S HALF LONG. — The roots are 
smooth, 8 to 10 inches long, and of a deep orange 
color. The flesh is fine grained, sweet and of the very 
best quality. This is an excellent variety either for 
the home garden or for the market.

148—RED CORED CHANTENAY.—lt has a firm 
sweet flesh, free from strings and pungent flavor. The 
flesh is of a rich orange color and a very small core. 
The roots taper from a broad top to a blunt tip 
and measure about six inches in length. The skin is 
smooth, free from side rootlets, and of a bright orange 
color. For home or local market, no better variety 
can be found. It has the quality to make friends 
wherever it is sold. Red Cored ranks along with the 
early carrots, maturing in about 70 days. However, 
since it is stump rooted, it can be used much earlier 
than the long carrots.

strings, and has a mild sweet flavor.
