 CMRROT 



THE HIGHEST COLORED HND MOST BOUNTIFUL. 

 YIEL.DER OF HLL 



>, A fter a thorough test at Floracroft Trial Grounds 

 we were so thoroughly convinced of the supe- 

 rior qualities of this new French carrot that 

 in i8g8 we imported from Paris some of the 

 \ seed, and offered it for sale for the first 

 time in America. It has given pronounced 

 satisfaction in all sections of thecountry, 

 and we have received hundreds of un- 

 ■\ solicited testimonials from market gar- 

 deners, many of whom say thev will 

 hereafter plant the French Market 

 and Rubicon to the exclusion of all 

 others. The form is half-long, taper- 

 ing slightly to the end of root, stump 

 rooted, more uniform and much 

 \ handsomer than the Danvers. 

 This, with its better color, makes 

 it much more a' tractive, never 

 becoming ringed or rooty. It 

 is also entirely free from core, 

 the flesh being tender and 

 sweet throughout A very 

 heavy cropper and a great 

 keeper, holding its fine color 

 all through the winter, com- 

 ing out of the pits as bright 

 and fresh as when first dug.

RUBICON HHLF-LONG ORHNGE CHRROT 



THE MOST POPULAR MARKET GARDEN 



CARROT 



Since our introduction of this 

 valuable and distinct American 

 carrot, a few years ago, it has 

 rapidly grown in popularity, until 

 now it is more largely grown than 

 all other varieties of carrots com- 

 bined. Its handsome shape is well 

 shown in the photograph along- 

 side, while its deep red orange- 

 colored flesh is the finest in quality 

 of all, unless it be the New French 

 Market, described above. The 

 strain was selected and perfected 

 by a well-known market gardener 

 of Connecticut, under whose care 

 the carrots attained such uniform 

 shape that they are almost exact 

 duplicates of each other. It is 

 earlier than Danvers, about the 

 same length, but heavier and 

 thicker at the shoulders, making 

 it more productive ; the leaves 

 are also shorter, fewer and finer. 

 It is a wonderfully heavy cropper, 

 producing thirty to forty tons to 

 the acre under good field culture. 

 It grows without neck, the crown 

 is hollow, and it grows well under 

 the ground, which prevents it be- 

 coming sunburnt. Oz. , icc; J^
