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 midsummer. 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 is slightly 
shorter than the long strain and is preferred by many growers. It has the same attractive 
cylindrical shape, fine color and smoothness, with small crowns and short tops. Its great 
advantage is the interior, which tends to have smaller cores, richer orange color that means 
: high vitamin content, and in our opinion, even better eating quality than the long type. 
Nantes, Long Strain Very highly recommended. Pkt. 15¢; 44 Oz. 35c; Oz. 60c; 14 Lb. $1.30; 14 Lb. $1.90. 
325 TENDERSWEET. The Richest Flavor. 
75 days. Tendersweet has a richness and quality of flavor which we have found in 
no other kind. People who do not care for ordinary carrots are often very enthu- 
siastic about Tendersweet, and it is our most popular home garden variety. Even 
when they have grown very large, these carrots are better-flavored than other kinds 
and 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 
is unusual in appearance, as the leaf stems are purplish and the outer skin of the 
root is deep orange tinged with red. See photo on page 2.
