PHOTOGRAPH OF AVERAGE SPECIMENS NEW RrBICON HALf-LONG CARROT. 



RUBICON HALF-LONG ORANGE CARROT. 



In the Rubicon we have an entireh' distinct American Car- 

 rot. It is the best in shape, and its deep red orange colored 

 flesh is the finest in quality of all. 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 Dan vers, about the same length, biit heavier and thicker 

 at the shoulders, making it more productive. It is a wonder- 

 f ally heavy cropper, producing 30 to 40 tons to the acre under 

 good culture. It grows without neck, and well nnder the 

 ground, which prevents it from becoming sunburnt — a very 

 important feature. INIany leading market gardeners and farmers 

 are now planting the Rubicon to the exclusion of all others.

NICHOLS' IMPROVED LONG ORANGE CARROT. 



We procured this stock some years since from Mr. Robert Nichols, one of the most successful market 

 gardeners of this citj'. The strain is much earlier than the Long Orange as usual!}- sold. The color is 

 of a deep golden orange when no thicker than an ordinary lead-pencil, shading to a deep orange red 

 when fully grown. The root is perfectly smooth. It grows without any neck whatever; the top is short, 

 and this, together with its extreme earliness, admirablj- fits it for earh' forcing. It is also one of the 

 best varieties for growing outside on account of its great productiveness and adaptability to all kinds of 

 soil. Pkt., 5c.; oz., loc; '4 lb., 30c.; lb., |;i.oo ; 2 lbs., |i.So ; 5 lbs. and over, 85c. per lb. 



NEW CUCUMBER-COOL AND CRISP. 



The photograph here- 

 with accurately repre- 

 sents the shape, which is 

 the most desirable for 

 pickles. Until thej' reach 

 their full size they are of a 

 very dark green color, al- 

 most "black," and of 

 very attractive appear- 

 ance. While primarily a 

 pickling variety, it is also 

 useful for slicing. Pkt.,
