Collection of Carrots. 
RED PARISIAN FORCING. (See Cut No.1.) A new

erect; quality excellent. Pkt., 5¢.; oz., 15¢.; 44 Ib., 40c.; Ib., 
$1.25.

summer variety. Pkt., 5¢e.; oz., 10c.; 14 lb., 25c.; Ib., 90e.

ably smooth and rich color, very fine for table use or foreing.

See Descriptions and Numbers. 
SAINT VALLERY, or NEW INTERMEDIATE 
RED. This splendid variety originated in France, near the 
city of St. Vallery, from whence it takes its name. It grows 
to uniform large size, intermediate in shape between the 
Half-Long and Long Orange. The roots are straight and 
smooth, broad at the top, measuring about two and three- 
fourths inches across, with a length of about eleven inches. 
The color is a rich orange red, its table qualities are faultless. 
It will be found a most excellent variety for either garden or 
field culture. Pkt., 5¢e.; oz., 10¢.; 44 1b., 25e.; lb., 85e. 
CHANTENAY. (See Cut No. 2.) This variety resembles 
the Half-Long Nantes, but has larger shoulders. Fine deep 
searlet color. Pkt., 5¢.; 0z., 10¢.; 4 lb., 25e.; Ib., 80ce. 
IMPROVED DANVERS CARROT. (See Cut No. 3.) 
Our pure American stock of this valuable variety is preferred 
by many gardeners to any other sort. The top is very 
small, color of a rich shade of orange, shape very handsome 
and smooth; quality the very best. One highly valuable 
feature of our strain is that it has its full color when quite 
young, which enables it to be pulled sooner than any other 
sort. It is equally as valuable to grow for feeding stock, being 
well adapted to all soils and will yield the greatest bulk with 
the smallest length of root of any other sort. Under good 
cultivation we have known it to produce thirty tons to the 
acre. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 44 lb., 25c.; lb., 90¢.; 5 lbs., by ex- 
press, $3.75. 
NEW LONG RED CORELESS. (See Cut No. 4.) One of 
the best long carrots we have ever grown; it grows ten to 
twelve inches long and two inches in diameter; very smooth, 
stump-rooted, good color, of excellent quality, free from any 
heart or pith. Pkt., 5¢e.: 0z., 10c.; 14 Ib., 30¢.; Ib., $1.00. 
HALF-LONG NANTES. (Stump-rooted.) ~ A fine inter- 
mediate variety, bright scarlet color, smooth, large and of ex- 
cellent quality. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 44 1b., 30¢.; lb., $1.00. 
NICHOL’S STRAIN IMPROVED LONG ORANGE. 
The ideal carrot for either garden or field culture, far superior 
to all other strains of Long Orange. See colored illustration 
on back of this book and page12. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15¢.; 14 1b., 
40c.; lb., $1.25. 
NEW RUBICON HALF LONG. In the Rubicon we 
have an entirely new and distinct American carrot; very 
symmetrical in shape and of a dark orange color, selected 
and perfected by a Connecticut gardener. The stock is so 
finely bred that the carrots have attained such uniform shape 
that they are almost exact duplicates of each other. It is 
earlier than the Danvers and about the same length; the 
leaves are one-third shorter, fewer and finer than this well- 
known sort; these features make it extremely well adapted 
to growing under glass. It is a splendid sort, however, for 
growing outside at any season ofthe year. It grows without 
neck, the crown is hollow and it grows well under the 
ground, which prevents it from becoming sunburnt—a very 
important feature. Our customers will find the Rubicon a 
decided acquisition and need have no hesitation in planting 
it largely. Pkt.,5c.; oz., 15c.; 44 Ib., 40c.; Ib., $1.25. 
OX-HEART, or HALF-LONG GUERANDE. (See 
Cut No.5.) This is one of the most valuable of all recent 
introductions, either for family use or market. Intermediate 
between the Half-Long and Horn varieties, attaining a dia- 
meter of three to four inches at the neck and of most beauti- 
ful shape and rich orange color. It is of extra fine quality 
and very productive. Pkt.,5e.; 0z., 10e.; 14 1b., 30e.; Ib., $1.00. 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE. The well-known and 
popular old stand-by for late summer and winter use; grown 
extensively for feeding stock. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 14 Ib., 20c.; 
lb., 65e.; 5 lbs. and over, by express, 50c. per lb. 
LARGE WHITE VOSGES. A valuable variety, with 
fine white flesh of excellent quality, large size, and, by 
reason of its shape, is easily dug; very productive and 
nutritious; excellent for stock. Pkt., 5¢.; oz., 10c.; 14 lb., 
25c.; 1b., 75e. 
Large White Belgian. Grows one-third above ground; 
large white root, with green top; grown exclusively for feed- 
ing stock. Pkt., 5e.; 0z., 10¢c.; 14 Ib., 20e.; Ib., 60e. 
Large Yellow Belgian. A good stock-feeding variety, 
differing from the above only in color. Pkt., 5e.; oz., 10e.; 
14 Ib., 20e.; lb., 65e. 
CELERY. 
One ounce will produce about twenty-five hundred 
plants and sow about two hundred feet of row. 
WHITE PLUME. 
GOLDEN HEART. GIANT WHITE SOLID. 
GOLDEN HEART DWARF. This distinct variety is 
the most popular old variety among market gardeners. It is en- 
tirely solid, an excellent keeper and of fine nutty flavor. Insize 
and habit of growth it is much the same as Half-Dwarf 
White kinds, except, when blanched, the heart, which is 
large and full, is of a waxy golden yellow, rendering it very 
striking and showy for either market or private use. We 
have an unusually fine strain, and sell hundreds of pounds 
each season to our most critical market gardeners. PKt., 
10c.; 0z., 25¢.; 14 lb., 65e.: Ib., $2.40.
