CARROTS 
The most popular vegetable of the garden 
is the carrot. No other vegetable gives 
so much in return for so little work ex- 
pended. Then, too, this vegetable finds 
many uses in the kitchen where it can 
be served either raw or cooked, and 
with almost any type of meal. There are 
three types best suited for the average 
home garden, and it is merely a matter of 
personal likes in making your selection. 
The long slender type, popular with com- 
mercial growers, is known as the Im- 
perator and does very well in home 
gardens, providing the soil is not rocky. 
The medium sort, cone-shaped Chan- 
tenay, is very useful for planting in 
heavier soils. Also in this group is the 
Danvers Half-Long, which is similarly 
conical, but longer. The third type, and 
one of the most popular, is the cylindrical 
New Coreless, or Nantes Carrot, which 
is a genuine stump-rooted variety, solid 
and uniform in size. 
Seeds should be planted in successive 
sowings, about two weeks apart, in order © 
to have young carrots always coming on. 
Rows should be 15 inches to 18 inches 
apart, and the carrots should be thinned 
to about 4 inches apart in the row. If the 
soil is not rich, apply a complete com- 
mercial fertilizer at the rate of 10 pounds 
per 100 foot row. Two or three packets 
of seed is required for a family of 5. One 
aunee of seed will plant a row 100 feet 
ong. 
1% ounce, 20c; ounce, 35c. Also Packets. 
Imperator (77 days): Roots 71% to 8 
inches long with sloping shoulders, 
smooth, deep orange. Uniformly tapered 
to blunt end.
