Eighty-five super-standard strains season of Eighty-five super-standard strains season of 1927 eightyfivesupers1927fran Year: 1927 STOKES CRCWINC JINCE 147S SEEDS 5 UPER-STANDARD STRAINS Dependable Carrot Seed Three pounds will plant an acre Coreless Amsterdam A comparatively unknown Carrot in America. The variety and the handling of it hold a real opportunity for the energetic gardener. It is probably the finest table Carrot under cultivation Days to maturity, 60. Europeans surpass Americans in the fine art of retaining the flavor of their vegetables. The famous Amsterdam, although up to this time little known and little used in this country, forms the basis of some of the most highly praised dishes of Holland and France. This is grown either by forcing or by field cultivation. It is usually pulled for market when about 4 inches long. By this practice, complete tenderness is assured and the flavor is delightful. The practice in Holland, in marketing this Carrot, is to regulate the size of the bunch by the number of Carrots held between the thumb and first finger. This usually gives about fifty Carrots to the bunch, which sells for about 20 cents on the wholesale market—an ample and a delicious meal for a large family. We do not advocate that any large market gardener plant an extensive acreage of Coreless Amsterdam. We are strongly of the opinion, though, that this variety can be introduced to our markets for more general usage. To the smaller gardener, especially the man with a private trade or with a roadside market, we unhesitatingly recommend Coreless Amsterdam. The possibility is unlimited of developing a trade direct with the consumer. Its use should open an entirely new field. The seed we offer is one of the finest European strains and may be relied upon to give the results outlined. If sown for open-field cultivation, treat Amsterdam quite the same as Chantenay, drilling and cultivating in rows. If sown under glass, broadcast the seed late in the fall
