This is the same picture of Nantes Carrot grown from our Special Strong Top Strain that we 
showed here in last season’s book. Will most likely continue to brag about these particular 
roots until we see some that are better. 
for FARM and GARDEN 
Any good land, thoroughly worked, will produce a satisfactory crop of Carrots. Sow as early 
in spring as possible, though good crops may be grown from seed sown as late-as the middle 
For table use, sow smaller kinds early, in rows 16 inches apart; for field growing, in 
drills 18 to 24 inches apart. Cover one-half to one inch deep and press soil down firmly above 
the seed. Thin 2 to 6 inches apart, according to size of variety.. When preparing Carrots for the 
table, wash and scrape them, never peel; the best flavor and color are near the skin. 
One package of seed will sow 30 to 40 feet 
of row; 1 ounce, 300 feet; about 3 pounds, an 
acre. 
* Chantenay Red-Cored. This is the 
best large coreless Carrot for both the home 
garden and for market. The roots are about 6 
inches long and 2 inches thick at the shoulders, 
smooth, reddish orange, tapered and blunt 
ended. The bright, clear orange flesh is fine- 
grained, tender and sweet, with practically no 
core. Grown for sale at roadside stands, public 
markets and to canners who ‘‘dice’’ them. We 
are particularly proud of this strain of Red- 
Cored Chantenay. It has proven its top quality 
in many competitive trials and in the gardens 
of critical vegetable growers.

* Supreme. A Really Big Carrot of Splendid 
Quality. The roots are 7 to 7% inches long, 
about 2 inches across at the top and taper to a 
rather blunt end. They are smooth and clear 
orange outside.» The flesh is tender, sweet and 
of very fine flavor. The core is small and of the 
same dark orange as the rest of‘the flesh. We 
especially recommend this where. great tonnage 
is wanted. ;

Chantenay, Long Type. Long, smooth Carrot 
with bright orange skin, orange flesh and very 
little core. This Carrot will make tonnage for 
it grows 7 to 8 inches long and 2% to 214 
inches in diameter at the shoulder. A good kind 
for selling in baskets on the market or to can-

Tendersweet. We had a dozen or more trials 
of this Carrot in home gardens last year, and 
without exception, every gardener was enthus- 
iastic about the tenderness and sweetness of 
its flesh. The roots in the majority of gardens 
were about 7 inches long, tapering from a 
shoulder to a rather blunt point, deep orange- 
red colored skin and fine grained orange flesh 
with practically no core. It might be a smart 
thing to try a short row of these this season. 
You may like Tendersweet better than the 
Carrot you have: been growing. Pkg. 10c; 
Yo oz. 20c; oz. 35c; VY Ib. $1.00. 
Imperator. A new variety of the bunching 
type, with roots from 8 to 10 inches long. The 
skin is very smooth, deep orange in color—a 
color which extends clear through the root. The 
core is very small and tender. Exceptionally 
fine for market and for home gardens. 
Pkg. 10c; 15 oz. 20c; oz. 30c; 4 Ib. 85c 
*Nantes Improved (Coreless) . One 
of the best and certainly the most popular 
long, slender-shaped Carrots for the garden. 
We believe this Strong Top Strain of ours to be 
unexcelled either for back-yard garden grow- 
ing or for market. Roots 7 to 8 inches long, 
smooth and blunt-pointed, just about cylin- 
drical in shape and bright orange in color. Flesh 
is bright orange and of the highest quality. 
This Carrot is often called ‘‘Coreless’’ Carrot. 
Small tops make it desirable for bunching. 
Commercial Carrot growers insist on a strong 
top strain of Carrot, so when they pull and 
bunch for market, the tops wont break away 
from the root. It’s a great asset to a Carrot 
im your home garden also.
