^^CHOLS' rMPKOVED LONG ORANGE CARROT. 



We procured this stock, now offered far sale for the first 

 time, from INIr. Robert Nichols, one of the most successful 

 market gardeners of this city, and the mere mention 

 ■of his name among his brother gardeners will be suifi- 

 ■cient guarantee of its high excellence. The strain is 

 earlier than either the well-known Danvers or I^ong Orange 

 as usually sold. The color is of a deep golden yellow when 

 no thicker than an ordinary lead-pencil, shading to a deep 

 orange red when fully grown. The root is perfcclly smooth 

 from the .shoulder to the extreme tip, and entirely devoid 

 of side rootlets ni all sta(/es of groulh. It grows Avithout any 

 neck whatever, the top is short, and this, together with its 

 exlreme earline^s, admirably fits it for growing in hot-beds. 



We pronounce it the ideal carrot, either for earlv or late 

 use. Pkt., lOc; oz., 20c.; Jilb., oOc; lb..$1..50. 



EWPROTED DANVER-S CARROT. Our pure Amer-

 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 valualile to grow for feeding stock, being 

 well adapted to all soils and will yield the greatest hulk with 

 the smallest length of root of any other sort. Vnder good 

 cultivation we have known it to produce thirtv tons to the
