150 S. S. Rubicon Half-Long 



The finest Carrot, either for the home garden or for 

 the market. It is earlier than the Danvers and will pro- 

 duce more to the acre, averaging thirty to forty tons. 

 The roots are stump-rooted, 5^2 to 6 inches in length, 

 tapering slightly, smooth, deep red-orange in color, flesh 

 very crisp and tender. It can be marketed at any stage 

 of its growth, and is very uniform and smooth. It is not 

 liable to crack when growing in the field. Our sales of 

 this variety are increasing every year, which is a sure 

 sign of its worth. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 40 cts., 



lb. $1.50. 



152 



Danvers Half-Long 



Oxheart 



This is one of the old types of Carrot which, on account of its great productiveness and 

 adaptability to all classes of soil, is a very desirable sort. Roots are of medium length, 6 to 8 inches 

 long, tapering uniformly to a blunt point; flesh deep orange, tender and of good quality. Pkt. 5 cts., St. Vaiery 

 oz. 12 cts., Vilb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25. 



154 Earliest Short-Horn French Forcing 



The tops are very small, and it is one of the earliest and most desirable 

 sorts for forcing under glass. The roots are reddish orange, nearly round when 

 forced quickly in very rich, well-prepared soil, but sometimes when grown 

 out-of-doors should be used before its season while the roots are still young 

 and tender. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., y 4 lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.50. 



156 St. Vaiery, or Intermediate Red 



This can be used either as a market, table or field sort. We prefer it to 

 the Long Orange, as it is smaller than that sort and better in shape at the 

 shoulder and rather more tapering. It is longer than the Danvers, and rich dark 

 red in color; late in maturing. A very valuable Carrot. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 l/ 4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



158 



Oxheart, or Querand 



This is a heavy, short, thick seed Carrot, especially desirable for hard or 

 stiff soils. Tops comparatively small; roots 43^ to 5 inches in length and 33^2 

 to 4 inches in thickness. Flesh orange-colored, dry, fine-grained and sweet. When 

 young the roots are excellent for table use, and when fully matured are good for 

 stock-feeding. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., y 4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



160 Yellow Belgian 



This is a standard Carrot for stock-feeding. Grows to 12 inches long, some- 

 what tapering, with yellow flesh; a very heavy yielder and one of the best for 

 feeding to cattle. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts/, V 4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.
