This variety of Carrot is of English origin, and its handsome 

 shape, rich red color and fine quality appeal to all who plant it.

 long and long varieties, and are very uniform. The shape is 

 most desirable, tapering to a decided point, and the quality is 

 excellent, being sweet and tender. This Carrot will surely prove 

 satisfactory to all who plant it in their garden this year. Pkt. , 

 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; i lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2-50. 



1JVITI.OOF CHICORY, or 



FRENCH ENDIVE 



During the winter this is sold by dealers in fancy fruits and 

 vegetables as " French Endive," and the large demand for it 

 has caused considerable inquiry regarding its culture. In order 

 to grow good "Witloof" the seed siiould be sown during June 

 in the open ground, in drills 10 or 12 inches apart, in deep, rich 

 soil. Allow the plants to grow until November, keeping free 

 from weeds and watering if necessary. Then take up the roots 

 and trim off the leaves to about 1^ inches from the neck, break oft 

 any shoots which may appear on sides of root, and shorten lower 

 endsothat all will beof a uniform length of 8 to 10 inches. Then 

 plant in a trench 16 to 18 inches deep, placing the roots upright, 

 about \^ inches apart. This will leave the necks of the roots 

 about 8 inches below the level of the ground. Fill up the trench 

 with good, light, well -drained soil, and, if speedy growth of any 

 portion of the crop is desired, it may be accomplished by covering 

 with a layer of manure at least 16 inches deep. In about 4 or 5 

 weeks the leaves will attain their proper size, and the manure 

 may be taken off and the roots dug up. The blanched head is 

 the edible portion, and should be cut off, leaving a portion of the 

 neck attached to it. Witloof is eaten raw or as a salad, and is 

 also sometimes cooked like ordinary Endive. Pkt., 10 cts.: oz. , 

 40 cts.; I lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 



COEUMBIA CEEERY 



An exceptionally fine early variety, which for size and shape 

 is unsurpassed. The plant is of medium height, but very stocky, 

 foliage is a light shade of green, with yellow tinge, and the stalks 

 are thick, almost round, andresemble Giant Paschal in shape, but 

 are of a rich, yellow color, similar to the well-known Golden Self- 

 blanching, which it resembles when trimmed and bunched. It 

 matures early, and its exceedingly fine flavor and crispness will 

 please even the most critical. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; \ 

 lb., $1.50. 



^VINTER KING CELERY 



An attractive feature of this variety is that while the outer 

 stalks are green, it naturally produces many golden hearts, which 

 are crisp, very tender and of excellent flavor. It is one of the 

 best of the winter-keeping Celeries, and may be allowed to re- 

 main in the trench for a long lime, and will come out in first-class 

 condition, solid and free from rot. The plants make a strong 

 growth, and are very easy to blanch, which is a decided ad- 

 vantage to the amateur. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; \ lb., 

 $1.50.
