Soil should be richly manured 

 and deeply dug. Sow as early as the 

 ground can be worked, or for late 

 crop until latter part of July, in 

 drills, fifteen to eighteen inches 

 apart, finally thinning plants to 

 about three to four inches apart in 

 the drill. The seed is slow to germ- 

 inate, 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; % 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; % lb., 20c; lb., 60c 



Chantenay, or Model Carrot. — For table use is 

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

 are a little longer than the Short-Horn and more productive; 

 always very smooth and fine in texture; the flesh is tender, 

 of a deep golden orange. Pkt., 5c ; X lb., 20c; lb., 60c 



Pride of the Market Carrot. — (For description 

 see Chantenay, or Model. ) 



Half-Loiig 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 five 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. 



Uanvers. — The most remarkable thing about this 

 variety, aside from its quality, is its enormous yield, and it 

 is rapidly superseding the long-established Long Orange va- 

 riety. Our stock is true, and will give greatest satisfaction 

 to the growers. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 20c; lb., 50c 



St. Vallerie, or New Intermediate. — Roots very 

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

 twelve inches in length, and two to three inches in diameter 

 at the top, tapering gradually throughout. Rich deep col- 

 oring and. free from hard core. Pkt., 5c. ; ^ lb., 20c; lb., 6~ic. 



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 ; X H*. > 20o. ; lb. , 50c. 



Cauliflower. 



filumenkohl. 



1 oz., 1500-2000 plants. 



The culture of Cauliflower is similar to cabbage. It de- 

 lights in a rich, moist soil, and in dry seasons should be 

 abundantly watered, especially 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. fc<et the plants two feet by fifteen inches 

 apart. If properly hardened off they are seldom injured by 



J Wanting out too early. "When heading, tie the outside 

 eaves loosely over the head to protect it from the sun. 



Early Snowball.— The best variety on the market. If 

 planted March 1 large heads will be produced early in June, 

 and scarcely a single head will fail to form. Its compact 

 habit renders it a very profitable variety to force under 

 irlass, and it does well for late planting. Our stock cannot 

 be excelled in quality. Pkt., 25c. and 60c; oz., SI. 75. 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfnrt.— (Extra Selected.)— This is 

 the choicest selected strain of the popular Erfurt type, and 

 is remarkable for its extreme reliability inheading. Plants 

 very dwarf. Pkt., 20c; oz., $1.50. 



250 Early Dwarf Erfnrt. — "While less expensive, this will 

 give quite good results in suitable localities. Pkt., 10c; 

 oz., 81.00; H lb., »3.50; lb., $12.00.
