variety is a very productive 
one. It has an extra large 
| Shoulder, is easily dug, and is ; 
desirable in all respects. It is ( 
a stump rooted sort, very smooth, fine in texture and of a beautiful, 
rich, orange color. For table use it is by many considered to be the 
best of all, both on account of Shape and quality. The flesh, when 
| cooked, is very tender. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 1b., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 
MAULE’S DANVERS.—This variety is well adapted to all soils 
| and sections, and some years leads my whole list in number of 
‘orders. Itis half long in shape, almost cylindrical, somewhat stump 
: rooted, and of rich, dark orange color. I claimthat it will yield 
| greater bulk and weight for a given length of root than any other 
| carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre of Maule’s Danvers have 
| been grown, and a yield of 25 to 80 tons per acre is not uncommon. 
i This is a widely popular and successful carrot. Packet, 5 cents; 
| ounce, 10 cents; 14 pound 25 cents; pound, 75 cents. 
| MAULE’S IMPROVED LONG ORANGE.—Mine is, I think, the 
| strongest and purest strain of the well-known Long Orange carrot 
on the market. The roots are of large size, and are smooth, fine 
grained and in all respects superior. Except in soil treated to raw 
stable manure, which makes all root crops rough, this carrot is al- 
ways well formed. The color is deep orange, as indicated by the 
name. Hnormous crops can be grown under good culture, particu- 
lary in a deep, light soil. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 144 pound, 
25 cents; pound, 75 cents. 
EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET.—This stump rooted variety is 
eoreless. The flesh is of a bright orange color. It is early, has a smooth 
skin, and is most excellent for table use. It will mature in compara- 
tively shallow soil. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 1b., 25 cts.; 1b., 75 cts.
