CULTURE. Whilea sandy loam, made rich by manuring the previous year, is the best soil for the carrot, anv pood land if

'~ ■ " " """" " 'e. is most excellent for the general crop. When it is possible to do so, it is advisable to 



50 work, though good crops may in this latitude be grown from sowings as late as Jun<^ 1 

 pare the ground tlvoroughly and sow in drills 12 to 24 inches apart, using from three to five pounds to the acre according to 1 



richeu with a Urcssing of rotten manure, is most excellent "for the general crop. When it is possible to do so. it is advisable to sow as 

 early in the spring as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may in this latitude be srrown from sowings as l:it.-> :is June 1.5. Pre-

tance between the rows. Cover one-half to one inch deep and see tfo it that the soil is well firmed about the seed As soon as the 

 plants appear use the cultivator or wheel hoe, and do not let the weeds get a start. Thin from 3 to 6 inches apart in the row as soon i": 

 the plants are large enough. Gather and store for winter use like beets or turnips. 



BUCKBEE'S NEW DANVERS — Most excellent of all, an improvement obtained 

 by years of careful selection of the best formed and deepest colored roots of 

 the old favorite. Half Long Danvers; flesh sweet, crisp and tender. It is 

 of a rich, dark orange color, and all the roots are uniformly smooth and hand- 

 some. This variety, although the I'oots are shorter, produces as large a bulb 

 as the longer sorts and is much more easily harvested. I can heartily recom- 

 mend Buckbce's Danvers to you, either for a familv. market or field variety. 

 Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c. !^ lb. 35c, lb. 60c, lb. -vl.OO, 5 lbs. only sH.oO. prepaid. 



IMPROVED INTERMEDIATE— A very fine variety for either field or 

 garden culture. Large, symmetrical roots of a deep orange red. They 

 are straight and smooth, free from roughness and of the best qual- 

 ity. Tops ai-e small and roots of mammoth size. You will find this 

 variety very desirable for home, market br stock use. Pkt. 4c, oz. 

 7c, }4 lb. iSc, >< lb. 30c. lb. 50c, 5 lbs. prepaid only $2.25. 



IMPROVED LONG ORANGE — One of the most desirable of all carrots, either for 

 garden or field culture on mellow soil. Au improvement obtained by years of 

 careful selection of the best formed and deepest colored roots of the old Long 

 Orange. Roots proportionately shorter than the Long Orange and smoother, 

 but so uniform and true that the bulk of the crop will be greater. It is a 

 good keeper, of fine qualitj- for table use, and highly meritorious for stock.

 slightly, but uniformly stump rooted and smooth : color deep orange I'ed; flesh very 

 crisp and tender. While this is a medium early sort, it furnishes roots of usable 

 size as early as any; is a heavy cropper and is one of the oest for both the market

 field sort. Pkt. .3c. oz. 6c. ^4 lb. 1.5c, y lb. 28c, lb. 50c, 5 lbs. for only -?2.25, prepaid.

 have been gi-own which were over seven inches in diameter. They are broad, top- 

 shaped, the diameter often exceeding the length, and terminate abruptly in a small 

 tap root, and by i-eason of their shape are very easUv dug." Flesh bright "orange, fine 

 grained and sweet. This is a desirable variety on soils too hard and stiff for the 

 long growing sorts, as it is not over five or six inches Ions. When voung. excellent
