CHAIVTENAY — 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 entirely coreless. The shoulder is un- 

 usually thick and the root tapers slightly do-wn 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. 10c; 1 oz. 20c; 1,4 lb. 40c; 

 1 lb. $1.25.

well-known Danvers. It is broad at the neck and gradually narrows

 from core. It is one of the heaviest croppers and its handsome appear- 

 ance makes it an excellent bunching Carrot for market. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz.
