WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Vegetable Seeds—35 


CULTURE.—Sow in drills. Cover 44 to 1 inch deep, and press soil about seed; afterward thin plants to 
GARDEN CARR 2inches. Use 2 to 3 pounds of seed to acre; 1 ounce to 600 feet of drill. Make rows 12 to 18 inches apart. 
= The smaller carrots are also grown under glass, to supply the winter markets. Use well rotted manure, 
as fresh manure makes root crops branch too much. If near a good market, make several plantings. Carrots do not demand excessively 
rich soil, and often do well on land where a clover sod had been plowed under the year before. 
~ Extra Early Parisian Forcing Carrot. 
This carrot is one of such quick growth that I think a good name for it is the 
radish earrot, for it certainly matures as quickly asaradish. The root is formed 
much quicker than the well known French Forcing carrot. It has a very fine neck 
and a rather hollow crown. Leaves are short and erect, and while small are quite 
sufficient for early bunching, good for forcing under glass or outdoors. It has been 
the first carrot on the Parisian market for a number of years and I can highly 
recommend it to all my customers who desire a small, early, delicious carrot that 
| will mature as soon as many varieties of radish, but must be sown in very rich soil.

Carrot. 
The Money Making 
This new carrot is an intensified Dan- — 
Carrot. vers, suited to both table and stock. It is 
a half long, stump-rooted carrot, some- 
what deeper in color than Danvers and a 
heavier cropper. The root is smooth, uni- 
form and handsome, entirely free from 
core with sweet and tender flesh. It 
never becomes stringy nor shows rings. 
Highly recommended both for table use 
and stock feeding, and especially desir- 
able for market gardeners and amateurs 
who wish to grow something choice in 
quality. With ordinary good treatment 
Golden Rod will yield close to 40 tons to 
the acre. Thousands of testimonials in 
favor of Golden Rod have already reached 
me, and I am sure it is worthy of univer- 
sal trial. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents: —

Se
