Modern carrots are a really delicious vegetable 
eaten either cooked or raw. They are at their best 
before they are half grown, but Nantes and Tender- 
sweet are so fine-textured and mild-flavored that 
they are still delicious even when they have grown 
much larger. A few rows will supply all you want. 
Sow early in the spring and again a few weeks later 
and thin out the small ones to eat first, leaving the 
rest for fall and winter storage. For commercial use, 
early sowings produce the largest crops but later 
sowings give the best carrots in the fall. 
If Nantes Carrots are sown in August they will 
make carrots about the size of one’s finger for fall 
use. These are extremely delicious eaten raw or 
cooked whole with butter sauce. Use these small car- 
rots for quick freezing too. 
315 NANTES. Fine Coreless Carrot. One of 
the very best carrots grown. 
The exceptionally fine quality and smooth attrac- 
tive shape have made it a universal favorite for 
both home use and market. Nantes is ready to 
use earlier than any other kind, and it has a de- 
licious flavor combined with a sweet melting 
tenderness that delights everyone who tries it. For

312 IMPERATOR. This is the fine quality bunching carrot that comes 
into our markets from California and has proved to be an excellent 
bunch carrot to grow in the East. The roots grow 8 inches long, are 
smooth and slightly tapering and have the shape and color to make 
a most attractive bunch. The color is deep orange and extends right 
to the center, with a very small core. The tops are just right for 
bunching.

Our trial ground men, Ray Statt and Charley Wilson, found that our Nantes had a 
finer inside color than any other.

316 NANTES. Strong Top Strain. This fine core- 
less strain of Nantes has been especially bred for 
stronger tops so that they do not break off as 
easily when pulled for bunching. 
The roots are of the same fine type, smooth and 
attractive and the quality is just as good in every 
way. This strain has even better colored roots 
than the regular and we recommend it highly.

Tendersweet 
325 TENDERSWEET. The Sweetest Kind. Fine textured and sweeter than any 
we have tasted. The roots are long and of deep red orange 
color tinged with red at the top. The rich flavor and fine quality have made it immensely 
popular for home gardens and for winter storing. See full description on page 5.

310 HUTCHINSON. True New England Type. Our stock of this heavy-yielding 
i] variety is the true type which is so popular for market in New England, or Long Island 
and in some other sections. It grows very large carrots and is especially valuable for 
busheling. The roots are 8 to 10 inches long, nearly the same size the whole length, 
stump-rooted and of a bright orange color. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.20; 14 Lb. $1.75. 
305 CHANTENAY. Special Strain. Long. Still the most 
popular carrot for general use and market. 
The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, tapering slightly and are quite 
stump-rooted. The color is a rich orange and the roots are fine grained, 
smooth and of fine quality. 
We offer a very uniform strain which grows an inch longer than the 
usual Chantenay, and this gives the carrots a very handsome shape and 
appearance. Commercial growers and home gardeners alike are de- 
lighted with the vigor, fine yield and good quality of this strain.

320 RED CORED CHANTENAY. We have a very true stock of this 
fine variety which is popular with market gardeners, canners and home 
gardeners. 
The color of the flesh is deep orange extending right through to the 
center. The quality is very fine. Because of the fine quality, uniform 
deep color, and high yield this variety is very popular with canners. 
The carrots are very smooth and but a little shorter than our Special 
Chantenay. This variety yields large crops and is grown considerably 
on muck. 
For the home garden this variety is especially valuable as it sue- 
ceeds under a wide range of conditions and does not require as deeply 
plowed soil as some of the longer kinds. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 25c; Oz. 40c; 144 Lb. 95c; 4% Lb. $1.40. 
308 DANVERS HALF LONG. Red Cored Strain. A much improved 
strain of this well-known and dependable carrot. The color is bright 
orange throughout and the roots grow 7 or 8 inches long with thick 
shoulders and a distinctly tapered shape. Easy to harvest and valuable 
for its enormous yields of fine large carrots.
