CARROTS 
CULTURE—Carrots may be planted from March to August 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 21% 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: 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 4 Ib. 75e; Ib. $2.25. 
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 exceptionally 
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 garden- 
ers. The tops are larger and stronger than the 
regular strains of Nantes or Coreless and this has

FIELD CORN 
The growing of field corn in the Pacific North- 
west has now reached a stage where it is past be- 
ing an experiment, and with acclimated seed there 
is no difficulty to obtain success. We do not and 
will not handle any but Northwest grown seed of 
Dent Corn and our customers may feel sure of 
getting acclimated seed. Do not plant field corn 
near sweet corn or they will mix. 
*ALBANY DENT (formerly called Albany Hy- 
brid)—A cross between Minn. No. 13 and Pride of 
The North. It has the earliness of the No. 13, and 
the deep grain and small cob of the Pride of The 
North. It has been given careful selection and is, 
we believe, one of the finest sorts for grain or 
ensilage. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; lb. 25c. Not prepaid, 
lb. 20c; 10 lbs. @ 12c; 100 Ibs. @ $9.00.

the Northwest. Grains golden yellow, deep and 
heavily dented. Prices same as Albany Dent. 
*IDAHO HYBRID (Grain Type)—Same season as 
Minn. No. 13. The extensive root system keeps the 
plants erect throughout the season, producing 
longer than average ears and a heavy yield of grain.

10 lbs. @ 1%c; 100 Ibs. @ 15c.
