We were the first seedsmen to import the seed and offer 

 for sale in America this new and distinct French Carrot. 

 The form as shown in our photograph above is much hand- 

 somer than Danvers. This, with its better color, makes it 

 much more attractive, 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, coming out of 

 the pits as bright and fresh as when first dug. Pkt., 5c.;

RUBICON HALF-LONG ORANGE 



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 carrot combined. The strain was selected 

 and perfected by a market gardener of Connecticut, under 

 ■whose care the carrots attained such uniform shape that they 

 ore almost exact duplicates of each other. It is earlier than 

 Danvers, about the same length, but heavier and thicker at 

 the shoulders, as shown in our photograph opposite, 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 from becoming sunburnt. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., 15c.; 3^ lb. ,45c.; lb., 8150, postpaid ; by express or 

 freight, lb., 81.40; 5 lbs. and over, 81.25 "o.r lb. 



NICHOLS' LONG ORANGE CARROT 



Originated by Mr. Robert Nichols, one of the most suc- 

 cessful market gardeners of this city. The strain is much 

 earlier than the Long Orange as usually sold. The color is 

 of a deep golcjen orange when young, shading to a deep 

 orange red when fully grown. The root i^ perfectly 

 smooth, grows without any neck; the top is short, and this, 

 together with its extreme earliness, admirably fits It for 

 early use. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lb., 40c.; lb., 81.25. 



IMPROVED DANVERS HALF-LONG 



Our Improved American stock of this valuable variety 

 is preferred by many gardeners to any other sort. The top 

 is small ; color, a rich shade of orange ; shape, handsome and 

 smooth; quality, the very best, it is equally valuable to
