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; %4 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 diameter 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 uni- 
form. They have a very small core and are ex- 
ceptionally tender and sweet. The roots are rather 
slender, of even diameter and of early maturity. 
Very desirable for market, especially for bunch- 
ing, 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 gardeners. The tops are larger and 
stronger than the regular strains of Nantes or
