CARROTS 
CULTURE—Carrots may be planted from March to August 1. We prefer to plant from May 10 to 30; 
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 212 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. 25c; 14 lb. 75e; Ib. $2.00. 
GILL’S OREGON CHANTENAY (See 
back cover)—A fine market carrot, either 
for bunching or sack, and sold by some 
seedmen 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 (See back 
cover)—The roots are bright orange, 6 to 
8 inches long and very uniform. They 
have a very small core and are exception- 
ally tender and sweet. The roots are 
rather slender, of even diameter and of 
early maturity. Very desirable for mar- 
ket, 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. Postpaid. Pkt. 
10c; 0z. 30c; %4 Ib. 85c; Ib. $2.50. 
IMPERATOR, LONG TYPE—A new 
strain developed for bunching, also for 
dehydration. Tops medium, abundant 
and strong enough for good bunching. 
Roots long, slender in proportion to 
length, smooth and tapering to semi- 
blunt ends. Flesh of rich orange color. 
It is noticeably longer and more evenly 
tapered than regular Imperator. Ideal 
for loose peat and sandy soils. 
IMPERATOR—A good market carrot. 
Roots long, smooth and of rich red color 
with small core. Very popular for bunch- 
ing and for late crops. 
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, exceptionally tender 
and sweet and is delicious eaten raw. 
It is very early and the tops are small. 
Suited for forcing or outside culture. 
High quality for home use but not suited 
for market except when forced. Post- 
paid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 14 Ib. 90c; Ib. $3.25.

cylindrical roots. Good color and quality.
