are plowed under for their fertilizing value; others are cropped and | of Velvet Bean grow toa length of 10 to 30 feet, and form a great mass | 2 cal

NEW LONG LEMON STUMP-ROOTED 
CARROT. 
This is a variety of great sterling value; one of 
my best recently introduced vegetables. I thought re 
so well of this carrot that I gave ita prominent po- GS= 
sition on a colored plate in my last year’s cata- 
logue. I furnished seed to many thousands of my 
customers, and I have yet to hear an unsatisfac- 
2 tory accountofit. Itisacarrot which atalltimes q 
7” Of its growth is in perfect condition for table use. 
2 It is aS Sweet as the Chantenay. At full maturity 
it is of such large size as to equal the stock carrots 
in bulk of yield per acre. Please remember that 
@G at all stages of its growth the flesh is as fine 
Z cyained as the most tender table varieties. It is /, 
Z stump-rooted in form, and the illustration is about 
Z one-half natural size. I do not doubt that it is 
=. destined to become one of our leading standard 
carrots, for home and market purposes, and | cor- 
== Aially commend it to gardeners and farmers. 
Z Pit., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 44 1b., 80 cts.; 1b., $1.00. 
NEW ROSE RIBBED PARIS SELF- 
BLANCHING CELERY. 
Also known as Golden Rose. This superb celery, 
Z When ready for the table, is of a beautiful, light 
Z golden yellow color, very distinctly streaked with 
BZ pink. Itisasport of the Golden Self-Blanching, 
which as my old friends know has for so many 
e years held a top place in my list of celeries. It 
contains allthe good points of its parent. In two 
points it stands unrivalled among celeries. These 
ZB points are quality and beauty. There is abundant 
testimony to prove my assertion that this pink 
E celery is unequalled in flavor by any other variety 
grown; and no one who has seen it in perfection 
will deny that it is the most beautiful and appetiz- 
ing vegetable that can be selected to grace a din- 
ner table. It is easily grown, and may be blanched 
by a Single light hilling; and it is a splendid 
keeper. The individual leaf stalks are thick and 
stocky, and of perfect texture as to brittleness. 
There can be no mistake made in planting this |/ 
handsome and altogether excellent celery, espe- 
cially for home use or for a choice market. The il- 
lustration which is shown herewith, was executed 
from a photograph and represents accurately a 
trimmed stalk. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents. 
EVANS’ TRIUMPH CELERY. 
Introduced as the best of the late varieties of 
celery. The stalks are large, solid, crisp, tender, 
beautiful and of highest table quality. It is a} 
strong grower, of medium height, blanching well, || 
and making an attractive bunch. It combines ||| 
the good qualities of all the late varieties, and 
leaves nothing to be desired. It is a good 
keeper, and has an established reputation in 
some localities, and is likely to grow rapidly in 
favor as its merits become known. Packet, | 
10 cents ; ounce, 30 cents ; 44 pound, $1.00.

A MARKET GARDENER? 
If you raise truck to sell, you ought to have 
my Special Price List, it will be mailed free to 
market gardeners; but as it is intended only 
for this particular trade, I cannot send it to 
private gardeners even if they apply for it.
