 mers. It is of a rich yellow color, stump rooted, and grows to a 

 very large size. Valuable for stock feeding, and in comparative 

 trials it outyields other sorts. It Is remarkably free from tough- 

 ness ; while in its young state it may be used for culinary pur- 

 poses, as it cooUs sweet and tender.

153 Maulers Improved Long Orange 



Maule's Improved Long Orange is the strongest and purest 

 strain of that well known 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 always well formed. 

 The color is deep orange, as indicated by the name. Enormous 

 crops can be grown under good culture, particularly in a deep, 

 light soil.

I consider your Lobberich's Agricullural Carrot the best field 

 carrot pat oat by any seed house in America. I have always 

 had great success with this carrot.

Oxheart or Guerande 



This carrot is a splendid sort. In length it comes between Early Scarlet Horn and 

 Half Long Scarlet. 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 

 satisfactory for home use and profitable 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. It will yield as heavy a crop as 

 the Uauvers, with this advantage, that it can be grown thiclier and can be raised on 

 stonier land. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; % pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50. 



155 Red St. Valery or 

 Henderson's Intermediate 



A desirable market carrot, longer than 

 Danvers, tapering abruptly with pointed 

 roots, often called Pointed Danvers. The 

 root measures 10 to 12 inches in length, 

 is very broad at the shoulder, tapers 

 evenly to the small tap root. It grows 

 smoothly and is sweet and tender, free 

 from coarseness even at maturity. Its 

 color is a rich reddish orange. For 

 market gardeners its beautiful appearance 

 n:iakes it a rapid seller on the market 

 stalls. As a table carrot it is unsur- 

 passed, while as a field carrot its immense 

 yield makes it extremely valuable. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 



quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25.

Early Scarlet Horn 



A variety of carrot long and favorably known 

 to all growers. It is not large, but is often used 

 for early crop. It is some times used for forc- 

 ing. Considered by many people to be the best 

 early table sort. The flesh is tine 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.

This is one of the best early stump 

 rooted varieties, and is coreless. The 

 flesh is of a bright orange color. It is 

 early, has a smooth skin, and is most ex- 

 cellent for table use. A good variety for 

 both home and market gardens. It will 

 mature in comparatively shallow soil. 

 Its great productiveness and the ease 

 with which it can be harvested make it 

 very desirable as a field sort.
