CARROTS, 



CUI^TUBX:. — This delicious and nutritious vegetable is not appreciated as it should 

 be. Properly cooked, it is a great delicacy. Its feeding qualities for stock are excellent. 

 A sandy soil is best, but any good rich soil will produce good crops. Sow in early spring 

 and fall in rows fifteen to eighteen inches apart and thin to three to four inches, accord- 

 ing to size or variety. Cover the seed only half an. inch and give careful cultivation 

 throughout the season. They may be eaten either when a half inch or so in diameter or 

 when fully grown. 2% lbs. to the acre.

 VERY SCARCE 



Danver's Half Iiong: 



Iiarge Belg'ian. 



DANVER'S. — A half long orange carrot, 

 grown largely on account of its great pro- 

 ductiveness and adaptability to all classes 

 of soil. It is a desirable second early 

 carrot for the home garden, and is also 

 suitable for field culture. The tops are 

 of medium size. The mature roots, are of 

 medium length, six to eight inches long, 

 tapering uniformly to a blunt point. The 

 flesh is deep orange, tender and of good 

 quality. Although the roots of this 

 variety at maturity are comparatively 

 short they often produce as large a bulk 

 as the longer field sorts and are more 

 easily harvested. Has become a leading 

 variety for shipping. Packet, 10c. ; oz., 15c.; 

 14 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25, postpaid.
