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 
delighted with the vigor, fine yield and good quality of this strain, 
and it has been for many years one of our best-selling carrots. We 
highly recommend it.

320 RED CORED CHANTENAY. Fine quality, uniform deep color 
and high yields have made this variety widely popular for many 
years. The carrots have a smooth blocky shape just a little shorter 
than our Chantenay Special, and the fine color goes right thru to the 
center. Canners prefer this strain and it is grown extensively on muck. 
For the home garden this variety is especially valuable as it suc- 
ceeds under a wide range of conditions and does not require as deeply 
plowed soil as some of the longer kinds.

312 IMPERATOR. Our strain of this fine quality carrot has 
proved to be an excellent bunching type 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 short but just 
right for bunching. For uniformity and smoothness, ours is 
much superior to the ordinary strains of this variety.

313 IMPERATOR. New Long Strain. To the handsome 
appearance and fine quality of Imperator, this new strain adds 
extra length and a long smooth tapering shape. On good 
deeply prepared soil the straight slender roots grow to a 
remarkable length. A vigorous grower, it makes stronger, 
somewhat larger tops than our Imperator, and with its deep 
orange color inside and out, it will compete successfully with 
Western-grown bunching carrots on our markets. For the 
home garden too, its length and excellent quality will give it

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 large. 
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 sow- 
ings 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. 
Fine for quick freezing too. 
315 NANTES. cone Strain. Fine Coreless 
arrot. One of the very best 
carrots grown. The exceptionally fine quality and 
smooth attractive 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 delicious flavor combined with a sweet melting 
tenderness that delights everyone who tries it. For

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.

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. A heavy yielder.

310 HUTCHINSON. True New England Type. Our stock of this 
heavy-yielding variety is the true type which is so popular for market 
in New England, 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, cylindrical, stump-rooted and bright orange.

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 gar- 
dens and for winter storing. See full
