BUCKBEE'S SUPERIOR CARROT SEED. 



CULTURE. 



German, Moehre. French, Carotte. Spanish, Zanahoria. Swedish, Morot. 

 One ounce of Carrot seed will sow a row one hundred feet long. Four to five pounds will sow an acre. 



The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy loam, richly tilled. For early crops sow in the spring as soon 

 as the ground is in good working order. For later crops they may be sown any time until the middle of June. Sow 

 in rows fifteen inches apart, thinning out to three or four inches between the plants. In field culture, when grown for horses or 

 cattle, the rows should be two feet apart, so that the crop can be worked by the horse cultivator. As Carrot seed is slow to germinate, 

 all precautions must be taken. 



Buckbee's New Danvers — (See cut.) — Most excellent for all soils and wUl yield greater bulk with smaller length of roots than 

 any other vai-iety. It is of a rich dark orange color and all the roots are wonderfully smooth and handsome. Forty tons and

LONG 

 ORANGE 



Oxheart or Guerande — (See cut.) — This new carrot is one of the most popular 

 of all and is a decided advancement in shape, as shown in the illustration. It is 

 intermediate as to length, between the half long varieties, such as Dauvers and 

 the Scarlet Horn Carrot, but much thicker than the latter, attaining at the top 

 a diameter of from three to four inches. It is of very fine quality for table and 

 desirable as a market sort. One of the earliest catrots of "fine marketable size, 

 uniform in shape and very desirable for forcing. Is used extensively for bunch- 

 ing for earliest market use. Small tops and roots. Pkt. 4c, oz. 7c, X lb. 20c, }4

 Mammoth White Belgian — (See cut.) — A splendid variety for fattening stock. 

 The roots are surprisingly mammoth in size and the productiveness is amazingly 

 enormous, often yielding fifty tons and over per acre. It is the gi'eatest stock 

 variety and is highlj- recommended by experimental stations and 

 agricultural colleges for fattening all kinds of stock, and exceptionally 

 desii'able for its great milk producing qualities. Do not fail to order 

 at least a small quantity of the seed and after you have tried it you will increase your plantings. ]sly stock is of supei-ior 

 quality and will give you the verv best of satisfaction. Pkt. 2c, oz. 5c, lb. 15c, K lb. 2.5c, fib. 40c, 5 lbs. for only .^;1.75

that all experimental investigations and other tests have placed carrots among 

 the leaders as a desirable food for stock. Dairymen prize them very highly for 

 their great fattening qualities and increasing the supply of milk to a wondei'ful degree. There is no" better food in winter for horses 

 and other stock than carrots cut small, then sprinkled with salt and fed with meal. Do not fail to take advantage of the exceedingly 

 low prices which I have placed on this seed for it will pay you a hundredfold for time spent in caring for same. You can not fail to 

 have a good crop by planting My Superior "Western Grown Carrot Seed. 1 would particularly recommend that those interested 

 in growing roots for stock feeding send tc the U. S. Department of Agriculture, ^Vashington, D. C.,"for a free copy of Bulletin No. 11, 

 giving the analysis of American Feeding Stuffs.
