These are Nantes Carrots, Our Strong Top Strain, Often Called ‘‘Coreless’”—We Believe It’s the Very Best Kind for Your Garden 
CARROTS for FARM and GARDEN 
Any good land, thoroughly worked, will produce a satisfactory crop of Carrots. v 
spring as possible, though good crops may be grown from seed sown as late as the middle of June. 
Fog table use, sow smaller kinds early, in rows 16 inches apart; for field growing 
es apart. Cover one-half to one inch deep and press soil down firmly above the seed. Thin 2 to 
6 inches apart, according to size of variety. When preparing Carrots for the table wash and scrape 
them, never peel; the best flavor and color are near the skin. 
One package of seed will sow 30 to 40 feet of row; 1 ounce, 300 feet; about 3 pounds, an acre.

season and it was Number 1 on the list in 
every single trial. This Carrot will make ton- 
nage for it grows 7 to 8 inches long and 214 
to 25 inches in diameter at the shoulder.

best and certainly the most popular long, slender- 
shaped Carrots for the garden. We believe this 
Strong Top Strain of ours to be unexcelled either 
for back-yard garden growing or for market. Roots 
7 to 8 inches long, smooth and blunt-pointed, just 
about cylindrical in shape and bright orange in 
color. Flesh is bright orange and of the highest 
quality. This Carrot is often called ‘‘Coreless’’ Car- 
rot. Small tops make it desirable for bunching. 
Commercial Carrot growers insist on a strong top 
strain of Carrot, so when they pull and bunch for 
market, the tops won’t break away from the root. 
It's a great asset to a Carrot in your home garden 
also. Pkg. 15c¢; YW oz. 35c; oz. 55¢; Y% Ib. $1.45
