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¢ ; oz., 10c.; 14 Ib., 25¢.3 Ib., 90e. 
MAULE’S DANVERS.—This variety is well adapted to all soils 
and sections, and some years leads my whole list in number of 
orders. It is half long in shape, almost cylindrical, somewhat stu mp 
rooted, and of 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, anda yield of 25 to 30 tons per acre is not uncommon. 
This is a widely popular and successful carrot. Packet, 10 cents; 
ounce, 15 cents; '4 pound, 25 cents; pound, 90 cents.

EARLY HALF LONG SCAR-

coreless. The flesh is of a bright

It is of a rich orange 
*, Stump rooted, and grows to a very 
large size. I introduced itsome years ago at 
the personal suggestion of a leading French 
seedsman, and have received countless testi- 
monials of its great availability and worth. 
It has proved to be a most valuable carrot for stoek feeding, 
and in my own comparative trials it far outyields other sorts. 
It is remarkably free from toughness; while in its young state

Z Pleased I am with all the seeds ordered from you. We had peas to our 
BZ Neart’s content, while some of our neighbors who purchased seeds from 
Z other seedsmen, after planting 3 or 4 times had only a few, and it was the 
same with other vegetables. Your Davis Cucumber is a wonder and 
should be in every garden. 
A.R, Grover, Bethel, Maine.—Last year I bought my seed from you, 
BZ, and sowed my carrot seed as I had been in the habit of doing; it came up 
Z so thick I had to pull up lots; might just as well had about 3 times as

Mrs. A. G. Morgan, Elroy, Wis.—The seeds purchased from you last 
year made a grand showing. The Silver Bean is truly fine and bears pro-

They were of a silver color, very tender and stood up nicely from the
