(aoa CARROTS 
J 
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: 
Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 4 lb. 75c; 
Ih. $2.10. 
'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 Chante- 
nay 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. Also valuable for planting 
late in the season. , 
GILL’S SPECIAL NANTES—tThe roots 
are brivht 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 gardeners. 
The tops are larger and stronger than 
the regular strains of Nantes or Coreless 
and this has not reduced the quality.

der. Roots long and of deep red orange,

TABLE GEM or AMSTERDAM— 
We believe this to be the finest quality 
of all table carrots. The roots are 5 
to 6 inches long, of even diameter 
and blunt ends. It is nearly coreless, ex- 
ceptionally tender and sweet and is deli- 
cious eaten raw. It is very early and the 
tops are small. Suited for forcing or out- 
side culture. High quality for home use 
but not suited for market,:-except when 
forced. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35e; '4 Ib. 
$1.00; Ib. $3.00.
