CARROTS 
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 2% 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 cultivator having small teeth. 
PRICES—Unless noted: Postpaid. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 25¢; %4 Ib. 75ce; Ib. $2.00. 
GILL’S CREGON CHANTENAY — A 
leader as a market carrot, either for 
bunching or sack. It is sold by some seed- 
men as Long Chantenay and Greater 
Chantenay. We are the originators. A 
special strain of our selection 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 bright 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 1s very popular with market gar- 
deners. The tops are larger and stronger 
than the regular strains of Nantes or 
Coreless and this has not reduced the 
quality. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; (0%. 30c; 4 
Ib. 85c; Ib. $2.50. 
IMPERATOR, LONG TYPE — A new 
strain developed for bunching, also for

tapered than regular Imperator. Ideal 
for loose peat and sandy soils.
