CARROT 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of row; 
2 or 3 pounds to an acre 
Cuxture. Good crops may be obtained 
from ordinary garden soil. For early use, 
seed may be sown in hotbeds from January 
until March, and tn the open ground as soon 
as the weather becomes warm and settled, 
usually in April. Sow seed 14 inch deep, in 
rows 15 inches apart, and Iater thin to 5 inches 
apart in the rows. Sow from July 1 to 15 for 
winter crops. 65 days. Soil A. 
California Bunching. Tops small; roots 
bright orange, 8 inches Jong, and almost 
cylindrical. 
antenay. Regular stock. 
Danvers or Half-Long Orange. Owing to 
its enormous yield, this is one of the most 
profitable for main crop. It is somewhat 
longer than Chantenay. 
Improved Long ‘Orange. Eleven to 12 
inches long, 234 inches in diameter, tapered 
to a point; deep orange. Heavy yielder. 
CHANTENAY LONG TYPE. An ex- 
ceptionally valuable variety for market 
gardeners. The color is appealing, rich 
deep solid orange throughout. Roots are 
7 to 8 inches long, tapering slightly. Tops 
just long enough to bunch well. Very pro- 
lific, brittle, tender; sweet delicate flavor. 
Streamlined. Roots long, slender, cylindri- 
cal. Flesh rich orange, indistinct core, fine- 
grained, tender, and of excellent quality. 
Nantes. Six to 7 inches long and 114 inches 
in diameter; stump rooted, orange through- 
out. Fine quality. 
Oxheart or Guerande. A short, thick Car- 
rot not exceeding 4 inches in length, and 
about the same in width, which does quite 
well on hard, heavy soils where the longer 
varieties are useless. 
Red-cored Chantenay. A little more 
stump-rooted than its famous parent, 
Chantenay. Deep orange-red core. 
CORN SALAD 
Sow 3 ounces of seed to 100 feet of row 
CuLtTuRE. Sow in spring, in drills 1 foot 
apart; it will mature in 6 to 8 weeks. For 
winter and early spring use, sow in drills in 
August and September. Will do well if sown 
in spring. Large leaved. 45 days.

Chantenay Carrots 



CELERY 
One ounce of seed will produce 
about 2000 plants 
, Cutrure. Sow the last of March or early 
In April, in an open border, in rich, mellow 
ground, in shallow drills, watering freely in 
dry weather. By rolling or pressing in the 
seed the result will be more satisfactory than 
when covered. Cut the tops off once or twice 
before planting out, to make them stocky. 
When the plants are 5 to 6 inches hich, trans- 
plant 6 inches apart in the rows. Blanch by 
earthing up. 125 days. Soil A. 
Easy Blanching. For early use. As self- 
blanching as White Plume, and simply 
needs a slight earthing up. 
Fordhook Giant. Dark green foliage and 
thick stalks, solid and large; golden heart. 
130 days. 
Giant Pascal. Fancy green. Thick, solid, 
heavy stalk and a large heart. Itisa close, 
compact grower, and when blanched is a 
creamy white color. 
Golden Heart. A showy sort. Solid, of fine 
flavor, and a good keeper. 
Golden Self-blanching. American strain. 
Crisp, delicious, nutty flavor, and absence 
of strings make our Golden Self-blanching 
a real delicacy. The stalks are broad, 
thick and heavy, and easily blanch to a 
rich, appetizing golden yellow. One of the 
easiest Celeries to grow, for it blanches 
with much less earthing up than most sorts. 
Utah Tall Green. An early full-hearted 
green type of wonderful flavor and without 
stringiness. Stems thick, solid and fully 
rounded. 
White Plume. Unsurpassed for fall and 
early winter use, requiring very little earth- 
ing up to blanch it. 
Flavoring Celery. For culinary purposes. 
CRESS 
Curled Cress or Pepper Grass. Sow in 
early spring in rows 2 feet apart and re- 
peat often as it runs to seed very quickly. 
40 days. Broad or narrow leaf. 
Upland Cress. The perennial variety. Stays 
green all year. 60 days. Supply doubtful. 
Water-Cress. Sow early in spring near pond 
or running water; when established will 
last for years. 50 days. Supply doubtful.
