A packet will sow about 30 ft. of row, 
an ounce 200 ft., 2 to 4 pounds per acre. 
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 mid- 
summer. Nantes and Tendersweet are best for home gardens. For fall 
use and storage sow in July or early August. Fine for quick freezing too.

315 NANTES, Long Strain. Early and Delicious. 
68:days. Its 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 tender, fine grained and sweet. Ideal for freezing. 
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 a 
rich deep orange and they have such a fine flavor and texture that they 
are wonderful to eat raw as well as cooked.

316 NANTES. Stump-Rooted. 68 days. This fine coreless strain of Nantes 
grows slightly shorter than the long strain and is preferred by some 
growers. It has the same attractive cylindrical shape, fine color and 
smoothness, and although small-crowned and short-topped, it has some 
resistance to breaking of the tops when pulled. 
The interior color, freedom from cores, and the eating quality of this 
strain are excellent, and we recommend it highly.

320 RED CORED CHANTENAY. Large, Fine Quality. 
70 days. This has long been the outstanding strain for the canners and 
freezers. Its high quality, uniform deep color and heavy yield make it 
ideal for this purpose. The carrots have a smooth blocky tapered shape, 
a little shorter than Chantenay Special, and the fine color extends 
right through to the center. On both muck and upland, it is excellent 
for commercial processing and fine for home use also. Easy to grow, 
consistently tender and fine-grained, one of the best for freezing.

321 ROYAL CHANTENAY. New Red-Cored Type. 70 days. This new strain 
closely resembles Red Cored Chantenay but has a more cylindrical, less 
tapered and somewhat longer shape. The color and quality are just as 
good and the blocky shape may be preferred by the processors. It is a 
good yielder and well worthy of trial by growers for commercial can- 
ning and freezing.

Red Cored Chantenay—Solid orange all through—ideal for freezing. 
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 appreciate the vigor, 
yield and quality of this strain. For many years one of our best-selling carrots.

325 TENDERSWEET. The Sweetest Kind. 313 IMPERATOR. Long Strain. Most Popular. 
Tendersweet. 
75 days. Tendersweet has a richness and quality of 
flavor which we have found in no other variety. People 
who do not care for ordinary carrots are often very en- 
thusiastic about Tendersweet, and most home garden- 
ers who have tried it will never go without it in their 
gardens. Even when they have grown very large, these 
carrots remain more tender and sweet than any other 
kind and for this reason they are ideal for storing to eat 
in the winter. These large fine textured carrots are an 
attractive deep orange throughout and _ practically 
coreless. Tendersweet carrot is unusual in appearance, 
as the outer skin is of deep orange color tinged with red.

77 days. Imperator has been chosen one of the all-time 
All-America Winners and this reselected long strain is 
just what growers want. Long smooth and slender, the 
roots are slightly tapered to a pointed end, well-colored 
and of fine quality. The strong, heavy tops are excellent 
for bunching and it is a vigorous grower. Competes 
successfully with Western-grown carrots on our mar- 
kets, and excellent for use where the soil can be deeply 
worked.
