151 



The Chantenay or Model 



This variety is a very productive one. It has an extra large shoulder, 

 s easily dug, and is desirable in all respects. It Is a stump rooted sort, 

 rery smooth, fine in texture and of a beautiful, rich, orange color. For 

 :able use it is considered by many to be the best of all, both on account 

 3f shape and quality. The flesh, when cooked, is very tender.

Lobberich's Agricultural 



Considered the best field carrot ever offered to American farmers. It 

 is of a rich yellow color, stump rooted, and grows to a very large size. I 

 introduced it some years ago at the personal suggestion of a leading 

 b'rench seedsman, and have received countless testimonials of its great 

 ivailability and worth. It has proved to be a most valuable carrot for 

 stock feeding, and in my own comparative trials it far outyields other 

 sorts. It is remarkably free from toughness; while in its young state it 

 may be used for culinary purposes, as it cooks sweet and tender. 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; ^4 pound, 50 cts.; pound, $1.75. 



153 Maulers Improved Long Orange 



Mine is, I think, the strongest and purest strain of the well known 

 [,ong Orange carrot on the market. The roots are of large size, and 

 ire smooth, fine grained and in all respects superior. Except in soil 

 [created to raw stable manure, which makes all root crops rough, this 

 earrot is always well formed. The color is deep orange, as indicated by 

 the name. Enormous crops can be grown under good culture, particu- 

 larly in a deep, light soil. 



Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; '4 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.85.

Oxheart or Guerande 



This carrot is a splendid sort. In length it comes between Early Scar- 

 let Horn and Half Ijong .Scarlet. It runs fully 3 to 4 Inches in diameter, 

 and specimens have been raised measuring over 7 Inches in diameter. 

 In quality it is extra good, and will prove satisfactory for home use and 

 profitable for market. Oxheart can be easily 

 pulled which nril-es the harvesting of this 

 ^allety quite inexpensi\e If you want an
