8 ERICKSON’S SEED STORE 
This is the original shape of our Greater Chantenay Carrot. Color deep orange. 
Very smooth and longer than the old strain. 
CARROT 
Culture—Like other root crops, the carrot likes a rich sandy loam, well filled. For early 
crops, sow as soon as the ground can be tilled, say in April or early May. For late 
crops, sow in late June or July. Sow the seed 1/3 inch deep in drills 22 in. apart, 
thinning to three in. in the row. Carrot is slow to germinate and the soil must 
therefore be well firmed. One ounce for 300 feet of row; 2 pounds per acre.

Greater Chantenay—This is a recent development from the old 
Chantenay, and is 1 to 2 inches longer, in line with popular 
demand for longer carrots of recent years. It is smooth, with 
strong top, and resembles Chantenay in other respects.... $0.20 $0.65 $1.90 
Selected Danvers. This is a very fancy selection of the old 
Danvers Half Long. It is only slightly stump-rooted, taper- 
ing more than Chantenay. Matures in about 78 days, being 
therefore about ten days later than Chantenay. This strain 
has proven to be a heavy yielder and makes a fine main 
crop sort. It is smaller in diameter than Chantenay...... 20 60 1.75
