Soil should be richly ma- 

 nured and deeply dug. Sow 

 as early as the ground can be 

 worked, or for late crop until 

 latter part of July, in drills, 

 15 to 18 inches apart, finally 

 tninning plants to about three 

 to four inches apart in the 

 drill. The seed is slow to 

 germinate, and if sown early 

 or on moist soil, half an inch 

 is deep enough to cover the 

 seed. 



Early Horn. — Stump rooted; second in size; one of 

 the most popular for forcing and early outside sowing. 

 Flesh deep orange; fine grained; small top. Pkt. 5c; 

 54 lb. 20c; lb. 50c. 



Oxheart, or Guerande. — Intermediate length; fully 

 3 to 5 inches in diameter; quality extra good. Some 

 sorts require digging, but the Oxheart can be easily 

 pulled. It is adapted to shallow soils where the longer 

 sorts would not thrive. Pkt. 5c; l /^ lb. 20c; lb. 60c. 



Chantenay, or Model Carrot. — For table use is prob- 

 ably the best in shape and finest in quality of all. They 

 are a little longer than the Short-Horn and more pro- 

 ductive; always very smooth and fine in texture; the

oz., 1500-2000 plants. 



Early Snowball. 



flesh is tender, of a deep golden orange. Pkt. 5c; J4 lb.

Pride of the Market Carrot. — (For descriptions see 

 Chantenay, or Model.) 



Half-Long Orange. — This favorite variety, so largely 

 grown for market, originated with the gardeners of 

 Danvers, Mass. The roots measure from one and a half 

 to two inches in diameter at the shoulder, by Ave to 

 six inches in length, and hold their thickness well, 

 being gently tapering and abruptly pointed at the base. 

 Our strain produces roots uniformly smooth and of 

 rich dark orange color; flesh fine grained and of the 

 finest table quality. Pkt. 5c; % lb. 20c; lb. 60c. 



Danvers. — The most remarkable thing about this va- 

 riety, aside from its quality, is its enormous yield, and 

 it is rapidly superseding the long-established Long 

 Orange variety. Our stock is true, and will give 

 greatest satisfaction to the growers. Pkt. 5c; % lb. 

 20c; lb. 60c 



St. Vallerie, or New Intermediate. — Roots very smooth 

 and regular in growth, of large size, from ten to twelve 

 inches in lengt.i and two to three Inches in diameter at 

 the top, tapering gradually throughout. Rich deep color- 

 ing and free from hard core. Pkt. 5c; % lb. 20c; lb. 60c 



Improved Long Orange. — A standard late variety, 

 beautiful and uniform in shape, deep orange color; good 

 flavor; yields heavy. It requires a deep soil, and the 

 plants should stand eight inches apart in eighteen-inch 

 drills for roots to attain the full size. Pkt. 5c; Yi lb. 

 20c; lb. 50c 



The culture of Cauliflower is similar to cab- 

 bage. It delights in a rich, moist soil, and In 

 dry seasons should be abundantly watered, espe- 

 cially when heading. Sow seed in hot-bed In 

 January or February, and transplant the plants, 

 two or three inches apart, in boxes or in open 

 ground, which in this latitude is usually done 

 from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. Set 

 the plants two feet by fifteen inches apart. If 

 properly hardened off they are seldom injured 

 by planting out too early. "When heading, tie 

 the outside leaves loosely over the head to pro- 

 tect it from the sun. 



Early Snowball.— The best variety on the mar- 

 ket. If planted March 1 large heads will be pro- 

 duced early in June, and scarcely a single head 

 will fail to form. Its compact habit renders It a 

 very profitable variety to force under glass, and 

 it does well for late planting. Our stock cannot 

 be excelled in quality. Pkt. 25c. and 50c; oz. 

 $1.50. 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt — (Extra Selected). 

 This is the choicest selected strain of the popu- 

 lar Erfurt type, and is remarkable for Its ex- 

 treme reliability in heading. Plants very dwarf. 

 Pkt. 20c; oz. $1.50. 



Dry-Weather Cauliflower. — Also known as Dan- 

 ish Giant and Gilt Edge. As its name indicates 

 it is especially adapted for growing in dry loca- 

 tions where all other roots fail to do well. The 

 very large leaves furnish great protection to the 

 heads, and enable the plant to head up perfectly 

 in dry weather. It matures about one week later 

 than our Early Snowball. Pkt. 25c; oz. $2.00; 

 V* lb. $7.00.
