One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill ; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. 

 CULTURE —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 will not be as good as on richer, heavier soils containing more mineral elements. For an early supply, sow 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 every 2 weeks. For a winter supply, sow the larger grow- 

 ing 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 feeding. 



246 Earliest Short Horn (French Forcing). One of the earliest. Roots are almost 

 globular in shape, about 2 inches long and deep through, of reddish-orange color 

 and excellent flavor. Equally good for forcing under glass and for early or late 

 sowing outdoors. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb... 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



244 Early Scarlet Horn. May be planted very early in spring, and is an excel- 

 lent summer variety. Tops small and roots grow about Tj inches long; reddish- 

 orange and good flavor. May be grown either in frames or in the open ground. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; } lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



236 Guerande, or Oxheart. Good on soils too hard and stiff for longer-grow- 

 ing sorts. Root short, very thick, with small tap-root; flesh is a bright orange 

 color, fine grained and of sweet flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; | lb., 40 cts.; 

 lb.. $1.25. 



242 Improved Rubicon. This beautiful half-long stump-root Carrot is about 

 the same length as the well-known Danvers, but is cylindrical, and is rich dark 

 orange in color, very sweet and mild. Remarkably clean-skinned, grows evenly 

 and is easily pulled. Grows best in a soft, deep and mellow soil, which has 

 been well manured. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; } lb., 50 cts ; lb., $1.50.

 crop. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; i lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00.

 it may be used for the table. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25.

 tops tapering to a point. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz.. 15 cts.; \ lb., 40 cts : lb.. $1.25. 



Danver's Half-long Orange Carrot 



HI Chantenay. It is stump-rooted and slightly tapered

 appearance. The quality is most excellent, being very 

 crisp, tender and of an extra fine flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

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



234 Danver's Half-Long Orange. More extensively 

 grown than arty other. Of rich orange-red color,

 point; flesh sweet, crisp and tender. Produces more 

 bulk to the acre than the larger, longer varieties. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50.
