 Rod Carrot 



This new carrot is an intensified Dan- 

 vers, suited to both table and stock. It is 

 a half long, stump-rooted carrot, some- 

 what deeper in color than Danvers and a 

 heavier cropper. The root is smooth, uni- 

 form and handsome, entirely free from 

 core with sweet and tender flesh. It 

 never becomes stringy nor shows rings. 

 Highly recommended both for table use 

 and stock feeding, and especially desir- 

 able for market gardeners and amateurs 

 who wish to grow something choice iu 

 quality. With ordinary good treatment 

 Golden Rod will yield close to 40 tons to 

 the acre. Thousands of testimonials in 

 favor of Golden Rod have already reached 

 me, and I am sure it is worthy of univer- 

 sal trial. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 

 I ponnd, 75 cents; pound, $2.50, postpaid. 



155 Red St. Valery or Henderson's Intermediate 



A desirable market carrot longer than Danvers, tapering abruptly with pointed 

 roots, often called Pointed Danvers. A very desirable variety and rather prefer- 

 able to Long Orange, being thicker at the shoulder and not so long, with a yield- 

 ing capacity in deep soils equal to any of the long varieties. The roots measure 

 10 to 12 mches m length, is very broad at the shoulder, 2 to 3 inches through and 

 tapers evenly to the small tap root. It grows smoothly and uniformly and is free 

 from any fibre roots. It is sweet and tender, being entirely free from woody 

 coarseness even at maturity. Its color is a rich reddish orange. For market gar- 

 deners Its beautiful appearance makes it a rapid seller on the market stalls. As a 

 table carrot it is unsurpassed, while as a field carrot its immense yield makes it 

 valuable. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50. 



159 San Jose Champion 



An Excellent Bunching Carrot 



A new and improved form of the Half-Long 

 Scarlet carrot. In shape midway between 

 Chantenay and Long Orange. It is quite broad 

 at the top and tapers to a blunt point. Flesh is 

 a dark reddish-orange color, tender and sweet. 

 A heavy cropper, maturing the same time as 

 Danvers, yielding 35 to 40 tons per acre. A 

 handsome market variety on account of its fine 

 shape and appearance. Its sweetness and color 

 is more pronounced, than any other carrot, 

 making it an ideal table sort; and for stock 

 raisers its high feeding properties and enor- 

 mous yield per acre is just what has been 

 wanted. I predict when this new carrot be- 

 comes more widely known it will supersede all 

 others of its class as an all around sort. 



Pachet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 



^ pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75.
