305 CHANTENAY. Special Strain. Long. 
70 days. One of the most popular carrots for general use and market. 
The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, somewhat tapering and quite stump- 
rooted. The color is a good orange and the roots are fine grained, smooth 
and of very good quality. 
We offer a very uniform strain which grows an inch longer than the 
usual Chantenay, and this gives the carrots a more handsome shape 
and appearance. Commercial growers and home gardeners alike ap- 
preciate the vigor, yield and quality of this strain. For many years one 
of our best-selling carrots. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Oz. 25c; Oz. 45c; 44 Lb. $1.10; 4% Lb. $1.50. 
320 RED CORED CHANTENAY. 70 days. This is the strain to grow for 
the canners and freezers. Its high quality, uniform deep color and heavy 
yield make it the finest for this purpose. The carrots have a smooth 
blocky shape, a little shorter than Chantenay Special, and the fine 
color extends right through to the center. Excellent on both muck and 
upland, and a fine carrot for home use also.

313 IMPERATOR. Long Strain. 77 days. Highly successful right from the 
start, this new long slender strain is just what the carrot growers have 
been looking for. The handsome appearance and fine quality of the 
regular Imperator are combined with added length and a long smooth 
tapering shape. On good loose, deeply prepared soil, the roots grow to 
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 
Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.20; 14 Lb. $1.75. 
312 IMPERATOR. 77 days. Our strain of this fine quality carrot is still 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 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 25c; Oz. 45c; 14 Lb. $1.10; 14 Lb. $1.50. 
Carrots may be used anytime after they are half 
grown and are at their best when grown on loose deep 
soil that is not compacted. Young carrots are more 
tender and sweet for home use and several sowings 
should be made throughout the season from early 
spring until midsummer. Nantes and Tendersweet are 
the best for home gardens, and for fall use and storage 
sow these in July or early August. Fine for quick 
freezing too. 
315 NANTES, Long Strain. Early and Delicious. 
68 days. The smooth handsome appearance and rich 
delicious flavor have made Nantes one of the most 
popular carrots grown today. It is early, reaching a 
usable size before most other kinds, and whether 
large or small it is always tender, fine grained and 
sweet. For freezing, it has no equal. 
The roots of this long strain grow six or seven inches 
in length, cylindrical or slightly tapered and stump- 
rooted. The surface is smooth and they have a clear 
waxy look that is most attractive. The color is deep 
orange, extending right through the root so there is 
practically no core. This carrot is so sweet and tender 
that it is wonderful to eat raw as well as cooked. 
Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 30c; Oz. 55c; 14 Lb. $1.50; 44 Lb. $2.00. 
316 NANTES. Strong Top Strain. 68 days. This fine 
coreless strain of Nantes has been especially bred for 
stronger tops so that they do not break ff as easily 
when pulled for bunching. 
The roots are slightly shorter, more stump-rooted 
and perhaps of even better quality, color, and smooth- 
ness. Highly recommended. 
Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 30c; Oz. 55c; 14 Lb. $1.50; % Lb. $2.00. 
308 DANVERS HALF LONG. Red Cored Strain. 75 days. A superior 
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. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Oz. 25c; Oz. 40c; 14 Lb. 95c; 4% Lb. $1.40. 
310 HUTCHINSON. New Improved Strain. 80 days. Now improved in 
color and shape, Hutchinson is the heavy yielding variety that is so 
popular in New England and on Long Island. The carrots are cylindrical 
and stump-rooted, 8 to 10 inches long and especially suited to busheling. 
Its blight resistance has been maintained in this new strain. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.20; 44 Lb. $1.75. 
325 TENDERSWEET. The Sweetest Kind. 
75 days. 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

“You were highly recommended to us, and from the quality of the seeds 
and plants we ordered from you, we can well understand why. The King 
of the North pepper plants bore fruit beyond our wildest dreams. The 
Nantes carrots lasted throughout the winter (stored in soil). We were 
tremendously pleased also with the Black Seeded Simpson lettuce and the
