CARROTS 
Any good soil that has been thoroughly worked 
will produce a satisfactory crop of Carrots. Sow 
as early in spring as possible, though good crops 
may be grown from seed sown as late as the middle 
of June. For table use, sow smaller kinds early, 
in rows 16 inches apart; for field growing, in drills 
18 to 24 inches apart. Cover 4% to 1 inch deep, 
and press the soil down firmly over the seed. Thin 
to 2 to 6 inches apart, according to the size of the 
variety. 
A packet will sow a 30 to 40-foot row; 
an ounce, 300 feet; about 3 pounds, an acre 
Chantenay, Long Type. 70. Our strain is particu- 
larly good. A long, smooth Carrot with bright 
orange skin, orange flesh and very little core. 
It grows 7 to 8 inches long and 2% inches in 
diameter at the shoulder. Pkt. 15c; Woz. 25c; 
oz. 40c; Yb. $1.10. 
Chantenay, Red-Cored. 70. This is the best large 
coreless Carrot for both home and market. The 
strain we offer is absolutely tops for uniformity 
of shape and size, for smoothness and for both 
exterior and interior color. The smooth, reddish 
orange roots, 6 inches long and 2 inches thick at 
the shoulder, are tapered and blunt ended. The 
bright, clear orange flesh is fime-grained, tender 
and sweet, with practically no core. Pkt. 15c; 
Voz. 35c; oz. 55c; WIb. $1.20. 
Chantenay, Royal. 70. A new strain of red-cored 
Chantenay that is about an inch longer, cylinder 
shaped, blunt ended, very smooth and of a most 
attractive color. The bright clear orange flesh 
is of superb quality. Produces very heavy crops. 
Developed for canners and processors, it is also 
a splendid Carrot for home and market gardens. 
Pkt. 20c; Y%oz. 40c; oz. 65c; Ib. $1.35. 
Imperator, Long Strain. 77. Easily grown and a 
heavy yielder. The very long, smooth, 8 to 9- 
inch roots are 1% inches across at the shoulder 
and taper to a blunt end. They have a rich 
orange-red skin and deep orange flesh. Sweet, 
tender, fine-grained flesh of rich flavor makes it 
outstanding. Pkt. 15c; 1goz. 30c; oz. 50c; 14Ib. 
$1.20. 
Nantes Improved (Coreless). 68. In color, inside 
back cover. One of the best long, slender Carrots 
for the garden and certainly the most popular. 
We believe this strong-top strain to be unexcelled 
for backyard gardens and for market. Roots 7 
to 8 inches long, smooth and blunt ended, almost 
cylindrical in shape and bright orange in color. 
Bright orange flesh of the highest quality. Small 
tops make it desirable for bunching. Commercial 
growers insist on a strain of Carrot with tops 
that will not break away from the roots when 
bunched. Pkt. 20c; 440z. 40c; 0z. 65c; 14Ib. $1.35.

no core. Pkt. 15c; Yoz. 30c; 0z. 50c; Yb. $1.10. 
Touchon. 69. Similar to Nantes but longer. It 
will grow 7 to 8 inches and 1% inches through. 
Straight, cylindrical root with a very fine tap- 
root. Flesh deep orange, with a very small core.

Hart & Vick’s CELERY 
Celery seed is very slow to germinate. It should 
be sown in flats under glass in March and kept 
moist. When plants are 2 inches high, thin out and 
transplant to stand 3 inches apart each way. When 
5 inches high, set them 6 inches apart in trenches 
6 inches deep. Cut off the outer leaves and press the 
soil firmly about the roots. Cultivate thoroughly. 
When full grown, blanch by mounding gradually 
with soil or by pressing the stems together by boards 
on both sides of the row. For winter storage, 
take up the plants with roots and place them up- 
right on wet soil in a dark cellar, packing closely. 
A packet will produce about 500 plants; 
an ounce, about 8000 plants
