GARDEN CARROTS 

GOLDEN BALL.—This is the earliest car- 
fot, and is consequently largely grown for fore- 
ing purposes. It is much used for bunching 
with parsley, onions, etc., for sale under the 
name of “pot herbs.”’ Roots are of small size, 
round, of good color and excellent flavor. Pkt., 
5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 44 1b., 25 cts.; 1b., 75 cts. 

CULTURE.—Sow in drills. Cover 44 to 1 inch deep, and press soil about seed;

OXHEART.—This carrot well deserves gen- 
eral cultivation. It isa splendid sort, and is in 
high favor wherever grown. In length it is in- 
termediate between Early Scarlet Horn and 
Half Long Scarlet, while it runs fully 3 to 4 
inches in diameter, and specimens have been 
raised measuring over 7 inches in diameter. In 
quality it is extra good, and will prove satis- 
factory for home use and profitable for market. 
Oxheart can be easily pulled, which makes the 
harvesting of this variety quite inexpensive, 
and if you want an early, handsome, ready 
selling carrot, this sort will suit you. Pkt., 
6 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 4 1b., 20 cts.; lb., 65 cts. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN.—A variety of 
earrot long and favorably known to all grow- 
ers. It is not large, but is often used for early 
crop. It is sometimes used for forcing. Con- 
sidered by many people to be the best early 
table sort. The flesh is fine grained and the 
color a deep orange. It has small tops, and 
grows well in shallow soil. It matures 8 to 10 
days sooner than Long Orange. Packet, 5 cts.; 
ounce, 10 cts.; 44 pound, 20 cts.; pound, 65 cts.

NEW CHANTENAY.—This 
variety is a very productive 
one. It has an extra large 
shoulder, is easily dug, and is 
desirable in all respects. It is 
a stump rooted sort, very smooth, fine in texture and of a beautiful, 
rich, orange color. For table use it is by many considered to be the 
best of all, both on account of shape and quality. The flesh, when 
cooked, is very tender. Pkt., 5 cts.; 0z., 10 cts.; 4 lb., 20 cts.; lb., 60 cts. 
MAULE’S DANVERS.—This variety is well adapted to all soils 
and sections, and some years leads my whole list in number of or- 
ders. It is half long in shape, almost cylindrical, somewhat stump 
rooted, and of a rich, dark orange color. I claim that it will yield 
greater bulk and weight for a given length of root than any other 
carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre of Maule’s Danvers have 
been grown, and a yield of 25 to 30 tons per acre is not uncommon. 
This is a widely popular and successful carrot. Packet, 5 cents; 
ounce, 10 cents; 14 pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents. 
MAULE’S IMPROVED LONG ORANGE.—Mine is, I think, the 
strongest and purest Strain of the well-known Long Orange carrot 
on the market. The roots are of large size,and are smooth fine 
grained and in all respects superior. Except in soil treated to raw 
stable manure, which makes all root crops rough, this carrot is al- 
ways well formed. The color is deep orange, as indicated by the 
name. A cash premium of $25, offered a few years ago for the best 
earrot of this variety, was won by an Ohio man, with a beautiful 
specimen measuring 1614 inches in length. Enormous crops can be 
grown under good culture, particularly in a deep, light soil. Packet, 
5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 14 pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents.
