Danvers Half-Long THE THREE MOST Saint ValeryIMPORTANT TABLE CARROTS Chantenay Nine Hundred and Sixty Dollars Gross from Two and One-Half Acres of Stokes Rubicon Carrot Barton Brothers, of Marlton, New Jersey, purchased 6 pounds of our Chantenay Carrot. This seed was planted on 2}^ acres of groundsown 21 inches apart for horse cultivation. From this planting the Bartons took off 35,000 bunches of as fine Carrots as ever went into thePhiladelphia and New York markets. As Mr. Barton says, they seemed to be just what the market was looking for. An average grossreturn of $340 per acre has made Barton Brothers pretty well satisfied with their investment and with the result that they ordered 20pounds from the same stock for the coming season. It is this intimate personal service which Stokes Seed Farms Company is able tooffer the trade that has been responsible for a large measure of our success. 152 Danvers Half-Long Carrot A VERY DESIRABLE GARDEN VARIETY A second-ear
