THE LOVETT COMPANY, 



CARROTS. 



Mohren, Ger. Carotte, Fr. 

 One ounce will sow lOO feet of drill; three to four pounds 

 sufficient for an acre. 

 To grow Carrots to perfection, a rich, deep, and well prepared sandy 

 loam is necessary. For early crop sow in May, in di'ills four inches apart 

 in the row; for main crop sow in Jmie and July. The late varieties, for 

 field culture, should be sown in drills two and a half to three feet apart to 

 permit horse cultivation. 



Early French Forcing-. The earliest variety; principally grown for forcing purposes. It 

 makes a small, almost globe-shaped root of orange-red color. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^b.. 30c; 

 lb., 81.00. 



Early Scarlet Horn. The favorite early, red variety ; roots fine-grained and of good 

 flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; >4lb., 30c; lb., 90c. 



Oxheart or Guerande. A valuable introduction from France. Intermediate between the 

 Half Long and the Early Horn but perfectly distinct. The shape is nearly oval, and the 

 color and quality all that can be desired. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; }{\b., 30c; lb., SI. 00. 



Danvers. The best variety for general crop. Of a 

 rich orange color, a heavy jaelder and splendid keeper. 

 It is a fii'st-class Carrot for aU kinds of soil, and valu- 

 able alike for table use and for stock. We have a very 

 fine strain of this superior sort. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 3^b., 

 30c; lb., SI. 00. 



St. Yallery. A new intermediate, red Carrot of great 

 value. It grows to a uniformly large size, interme- 

 diate in shape between Half Long and the Long Orange. 

 Roots are straight and smooth, broad at the top, about 

 three inches across and eleven inches long. Color a rich 

 orange red. and perfect in quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c;

DANDELION. 



Lowenzahn, Ger. Pissenlit, Fr. 



A hardy perennial plant, much resembling Endive, 

 and furnishing one of the earliest and most wholesome 

 spring greens. Sow early in the spring in ch-ills one 

 foot apart, and thin out to sLs inches apart in the rows. 



Cultivate during the simamer to keep down the weeds, 

 cover with litter on the approach of severe weather 

 and remove the covering eaily in spring. If spare 

 frames are at hand they can be \ised to advantage in 

 forcing them and forwarding a i:)ortion of the crop.

 suitable for table and valuable for stock feeding. Pkt.,

 it furnishes the best kind of feed for hoi-ses. Pkt., 5c; 

 oz., 10c: >^lb., 25c: lb., T5c.

 grown largely for feeding stock. Valuable for hoi-ses,
