Nurseries (Horticulture) Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Nursery stock Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Vegetables Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Fruit Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Gardening Tennessee Memphis Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Poultry Equipment and. Plant them: they'll grow 11 CARROT A light deep soil is best, preferably fertilized the previous season, otherwise enriched with old manure; new manure and lack of cultivation lead to split and crooked roots. Sow a succession of plantings in rows 14" or more apart, thinning out later to 2"-3" between plants. Allow one ounce of seed for 200 ft. of row; 3 lb. for an acre. Chantenay, Red Core: 72 days. Somewhat shorter than Chante- nay. Reddish orange flesh with little core. Strong tops. Very desirable either for market or for canning diced carrots. Danvers Half Long: 75 days. An outstanding selection of this important shipping and local market sort. Bright orange roots, medium in length and shape. Crisp and of good quality. * Danvers Red Core, Asgrow Strain: A specially selected long strain of Danvers which has been well received on markets where the redder core is desired. *Imperator: 77 days. All-America Silver Medal 1933. Specially developed to meet the demand of the critical market for a long, smooth, handsome carrot. Tops are medium and just right for bunching. Roots have rounded shoulders and taper uniformly to a semi-blunt end, 7"-8" long, rich orange in section, with indis- tinct core; fine grained, tender, sweet and of excellent quality. This new variety so nearly meets market growers' and shippers' specifications of the ideal carrot that in many sections it has practically displaced all other varieties. * Improved Chantenay: 72 days. A well-known and popular all- purpose variety, shorter and thicker than Asgrow Imperator, 5"-6" long, stump-rooted, deep orange with indistinct core. Long Orange: 88 days. Large and productive; for table or stock. â N
