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 2% 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. 30c; 14 Ib. 85c; Ib. $2.00. 
GILL’S OREGON CHANTENAY —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 two inches longer than the 
regular strain and of more even diam- 
eter 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 — The roots 
are bright orange, 6 to 8 inches long and 
very uniform. They have a very small 
core and are exceptionally tender and 
sweet. The roots are rather slender, of 
even diameter and of early maturity. 
Very desirable for market, 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 gar- 
deners. The tops are larger and stronger 
than the regular strains of Nantes or 
Coreless and this has not reduced the 
quality. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c; oz. 35c; 
1% lb. 95e; Ib. $2.25. 
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. Postpaid.
