 CTJLTURE — One of the few crops that will do well in all soils although a good deep, friable loam will produce the best looking roots. 

 On light soils the color ^^^ll not be as good as on richer, heavier soUs containing more mineral elements. For an earlj' supply, so.y seeds 

 of early sorts, like Dreer's Perfect Forcing, Oxheart, etc., as soon as the soil can be dug, placing rows 18 to 24 inches apart and thinning 

 out seedlings to stand 2 to 3 inches apart in the row. Make repeated sowings for 2 weeks. For a winter supply, sow the larger growing, 

 firm fleshed varieties like Danvers, Rubicon, etc., any time during May. These varieties require all season to reach full size for winter 

 storage. For a fall supply of crisp, tender roots, sow Chantenay any time up to July 15th. The very much larger stock varieties should 

 be thinned out to stand 6 to 8 inches apart in rows, 2\ to 3 feet apart. Varieties marked with a star are the best for stock feedin". 



Early Scarlet Horn. Tops small with 

 roots about 2 inches long; reddish-orange 

 and good flavor. Equally useful for grow- 

 ing in frames or open ground, but should 

 be used before it has attained its fxiU

 when becoming overgrown. Pkt., 10 cts., 

 oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 45 cts.; lb., SI. 25.

 half long and long varieties. Broad tops

Earliest Short Horn {French Forcing). One of the 

 earliest to form roots ready for use, wth remarkably 

 small tops. The roots are almost globular in shape, 

 about 2 inches long and deep through, of reddish-orange 

 color and exceOent flavor. Equally good for forcing 

 under glass and for early or late sowing outdoors. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 cts.; lb., SI. 50. 



Chantenay Half-Long. (See illustration.) Largely 

 grown for market as weO as home use. It is stump- 

 rooted and sUghtly tapered towards the bottom and the 

 skin is very smooth, orange-red in color, causing it to be 

 of very attractive appearance. The quality is most 

 excellent, being very crisp, tender and of an extra fine 

 flavor. Roots, when ready, average about 5 or 6 inches 

 long. But they may be used while yet quite small, thus 

 furnishing a continuous supply. Unexcelled quality, size 

 and appearance. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., IS cts.; } lb., 45 cts.; 

 lb., SI. 25. 



*Danver's Half- Long Orange. (See illustration.) 

 More extensively grown than any other. It is of rich 

 orange-red color, smooth and handsome. The roots 

 taper to a blunt point; flesh sweet, crisp and tender. 

 Produces more bulk to the acre than the larger, longer 

 varieties. For many years this has been the prime 

 favorite with the market growers and home gardeners. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 45 cts.; lb., SI. 25. 



Guerande, or Oxheart. The roots are short, very 

 thick, and flesh is a bright orange color. Good on 

 heavy soUs. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 45 cts.; 

 lb., S1.25.
