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 entirely coreless. The sljoulder is un- 

 usually 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 tlie 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; 1 oz. 15c; Vi lb. 30c; 1 lb. $1.00.

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

 to a blunt, pointed base. In color it is an attractive 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 appearance
