These are Nantes Carrots, Our Strong Top Strain, Often Called ‘’Coreless’’—We Believe It’s the Very Best Kind for Your Garden 
¥ 


CARROTS 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 
of June. 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. Seed can be 
sown in the North until the latter part of June. 
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 ond 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.

*xSupreme. A Really Big Carrot of Splendid 
Quality. The roots are 7 to 714% inches long, 
about 2 inches across at the top and taper to a 
rather blunt end. They are smooth and clear 
orange outside. Flesh tender, sweet and of very 
fine fiavor. The core is small and the same 
dark orange as the rest of the flesh. We espe- 
cially recommend this for great tonnage.

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%4 to 214 
inches in diameter at the shoulder. A good kind 
to sell in baskets on the market or to canners.

*xTouchon. Similar to Nantes Improved, but 
preferred by some market and home gardeners 
for its greater length. We specially recommend 
that market growers try this variety. It may be 
just the Carrot their market wants. -

Tendersweet. We had a dozen or more trials 
of this Carrot in home gardens again last sea- 
son, and without exception, every gardener was 
enthusiastic about the tenderness and sweet- 
ness 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. You may like 
Tendersweet better than the Carrot you have 
been growing.

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.

*Nantes Improved (Coreless) . One 
of the best and certainly the most poputar 
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 
in your home garden also.
