Vegetable Seeds — 49 



I QARDEN CARROTS. 



Culture.— Sow In drills. Cover J^ to 1 Inch deep, and piess soil about seed; afterward thin plants to 

 2 Inches. Use 2 to 3 pounds of seed to acre; 1 ounce to «uu (eet 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. 



SB fresh manure makes root crops branch too much. If near a good market, make several plantings. Carrots do not demand excessively 



rich soil, aud often do well on laud where a clover sod had been plowed under the year before. 



'^OXHEART This carrot is a splendid sort. 



In length It comes between Early .Scarlet Horn 

 and Half liOng Scarlet. It runs fully S to 4 

 Inches in diameter, and specimens have been 

 raised measuring over 7 inches In diameter. In 



?[uallty It is extra good, and will prove satls- 

 actory for home use and protitable for market. 

 Oxheart can be easily pulled, which makes the 

 harvesting of this variety quite inexpensive. 

 If you want an early, handsome, ready selling 

 carrot, this sort will suit you.

^LET HORN.— A va- 

 riety of carrot long 

 and favorably known 

 to all growers. It Is 

 not large, but Is often 

 used lor early crop. 

 It is sometimes used 

 for forcing. Consid- 

 ered by many people 

 to be the best early 

 table sort. The flesh 

 is line grained and the 

 color a deep orange. 

 It has small tops, and 

 grows well in shal- 

 low soil. It matures 

 8 to 10 days sooner 

 than Long Orange.

RED ST. VALERY Originated In France, 



where It Is a popular variety. Rich, deep 

 orange In color; large aud handsome. Very 

 straight roots, broad at the top, often 2^4 to S 

 Inches across, and 10 to 12 inches long. Very 

 little foliage for the size of the roots. SuperioV 

 for table and desirable for stock. Yields heavv 

 crops in rich, light soil. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 

 10 cts.; i^ pound, 2.5 cts.; pound, 80 cts. 



^yrUE 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 soit, very smooth, fine In texture and of a beautiful, 

 rich, mange color. For "table use it is by many considered to be the 

 best^m all, both on account of shape and quality. The flesh, when 

 copied. Is very tender. Pkt., .5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; ^^ lb., 2.5 cts.; lb., 90 cts. 

 V5lAUL,E'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 stump 

 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 Uauvers have 

 lieen japfown, and a yield of 25 to 30 tons per acre is not uncommon. 

 Thi^s a widely popular and successful carrot. Packet, 10 cents; 

 ■ousree, 15 cents; 14 pound 80 cents; pound, 81.00. 



L/ttAULE'S IMFROVED LONG ORANGE Mine is, I think, the 



Strongest aud purest strain of the well-known Long Orange carrot 

 on the market. The roots are of large size, and are smooth, flne 

 grained and lu 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 

 n xme. Enormous crops can be grown under good culture, particu-

 l^ARLY HALF LONG SCAR- 

 LET. — This stump rooted variety is 

 coreless. The flesh Is of a bright 

 orange color. It is early, has a smooth skin, 

 aud is most excellent for table use. It will 

 mature in comparatively shallow soil. Pkt.,

-^^m It'C'BBERICH'S CARROT. — I consider 

 —^'^ this the best field carrot ever offered to 

 American farmers. It is of a rich orange 

 color, .stump rooted, and grows to a very 

 large size. I introduced it some 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 stock feeding, 

 and In my own comparative trials it far outylelds other sorts. 

 It is remarkably free from toughness; while In its young state 

 it may be used for culinary purposes, as it cooks sweet and 

 tender. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % lb., 40 cts.; lb., 81.25. 



Gpo. Croydon, Zenia. Tal.— Find enclosed my annual order for seeds. 

 I tried your Danish Ball Head for the first time last year, aiirl must say II 

 is the best cabbage I ever had. Those we planted for early came on as 

 early as any we ever had and proved fine keepers. I brought in one 

 from the early patch yesterday, January 20th, and it was as solid, sweet 

 and tender as those we use<J in the summer. The late ones came in as 

 good shape, and we have been /sing them since December Ist. 



Thos. A. "Walker, Famham, Ont., Can.— I raised 12 Hubbard Squash, 

 from seed purchased of vou this vear, that weighed 4.5 to .50 pounds each. 

 I have taken the prize at'four Fairs. Your Marblehead Cabbage is tine; 1 

 have a lot that weigh 30 to 40 pounds a piece.
