CARROT — FOR THE TABLE 
Cutture. The Carrot, whether used raw, fried, boiled or stewed, used 
alone or combined with other vegetables or meat is not surpassed in nutri- 
tious healthfulness by any vegetable. Plant Carrot seed from the time 
the soil can be worked in the spring till July, in 1- or 2-ft. rows for hand 
cultivation or in 30-inch rows where a machine tool is used. Use 1 
ounce of seed te 100 feet of row, 3 to 4 pounds to the acre, covering 
one-half inch deep and later thin to a 4-inch stand. To cultivate the rows 
at an early date, sow Cabbage or Kohl Rabi seed, which germinates quickly, 
with carrot seed, which verminates slowly. Do not overlook the value of this 
crop as a stock food. Number of days from planting to roots of bunching 
size.

This carrot is of outstanding quality, very smooth and of medium size 
with very small core and does not make very much top. The color is a 
bright red. It will stay in bunching condition for a long while and is a 
fine carrot to pack and sell in boxes. The crown is oval in shape and 
the tops do not break off as in other carrots. 
CHANTENAY 70 Days 
Tops medium sized; necks small; roots tapering slightly but uniformly 
stump rooted and smooth; color deep orange-red; flesh very crisp and 
tender. A heavy cropper and is undoubtedly one of the best for both 
the market and private garden while its great productiveness makes it 
very desirable as a field sort. 
CHANTENAY, RED CORED 70 Days 
An outstanding favorite with many people who grow carrots in their 
gardens. The rich deep reddish-orange color extends clear to the center. 
The root tapers to a blunt end.
