Milwaukee Market — In shape, color and general appear- 

 ance this sort is an improvement on the well-known 

 Danvers. It is broad at the neck and gradually narrows 

 down to a blunt pointed base. In color it is an attrac- 

 tive bright orange, the flesh is tender and sweet 

 throughout, and is almost entirely free from core. It is 

 one of the heaviest croppers and its handsome appear- 

 ance makes it an excellent bunching Carrot for market, 

 in fact, market gardeners in our vicinity proclaim it 

 one. of the very best for their purpose, and we sell them 

 large quantities of the seed annually. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 

 % lb., 50c; 1 lb $1.75 



For the successful cultivation of this root the soil 

 should be light (sandy loam is best, enriched the 

 previous year with manure) and deeply tilled. For 

 an early crop the Seed should be sown as -early as 

 the ground can be properly worked. For later 

 crops it may be sown any time until about the 

 middle of June. F>e careful to compress the soil 

 over the Seed after sowing. Sow in rows about 15 

 inches apart, or for field culture 1% to 2 feet apart, 

 covering the Seed about one-half to one inch deep. 

 Keep down weeds. Thin out young plants as soon 

 as they can be handled, leaving them about 4 inches

 Chantenay — The market gardener's and trucker's favorite. 

 It is an early, very productive, half-long, stump-rooted 

 variety, smooth-skinned, fine in appearance and en- 

 tirely coreless. The shoulder is unusually thick and 

 the root tapers slightly down towards the blunt point 

 so that it is pulled very easily. The color is a rich 

 orange and the texture and quality are unsurpassed. 

 For table use many regard this variety — because of its 

 form color, texture and delicate flavor — the finest of all 

 sorts', and it is undoubtedly the best bunching Carrot 

 for early market use. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 50c; 1 lb.. $1.75
