BUCKBEE'S SUPERIOR CARROT SEED. 



German. Muchrcn. French, Carotlc Spanish. Zunahoria. Swedish, liorol. 

 One ounce of Carrot seed will sow a row 100 feet long. Four to five pounds will sow an acre, 

 f^nlflirp While a sandy loam, made rich by manuring the previous year, is the best soil for the Carrot, any good land, if thoi-- 

 VuUllUI t . oughly and deeply worked, will produce satisfactory crops. A clover sod turned under deeply and" well enriched with 

 • dressing 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 

 •pring as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may in this latitude be grown from sowings as late as June 15. Prepare the 

 ground thoroughly and sow in drills 12 to 24 inches apart, using from three to five pounds - to the acre, according to the 

 distance between the rows. Cover one-half to one inch deep and see to 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 to 3 to 6 inches apart in the row as soon as 

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

 BUCKBEE'S NEW DANVERS — Most excellent for all soils and will yield greater 

 bulk with smaller length of roots than any other variety. It is of a rich dark 

 orange color and all the roots are wonderfully smooth and handsome. Forty 

 ions and over per acre have been raised with good cultivation, 

 and has often given 25 to 30 tons per acre. The finest of all for

 EJ1PR0VED INTERMEDIATE — A very fine variety for either field or 

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

 ■traight and smooth, free from roughness and of the best quality. Tops 

 are small and roots of mammoth size. You will find this variety very desir- 

 able for home, market or stock use. Pkt. 4c, oz. 7c, \i lb. 20c, \i lb. 35c, lb. 60c. 

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

 for garden or field culture. It grows to a large size, fair specimens averaging 

 IS inches in length and 3 inches in diameter at the top. All who have cat- 

 tie should raise a surplus of this Carrot for feeding milch cows during win- 

 ter. It increases the flow of milk and imparts to butter a delicious flavor and 



rich, golden color.

SEW CHANTENAY — Tops medium size, necks small, roots tapering slightly, but 

 uniformly stump rooted and smooth , color deep orange red; flesh very crisp

size as early as any. is a heavy cropper and is one of the best for both the 

 market and private gardener, while its great productiveness makes it very de- 

 sirable as a field sort. Pkt. 3c, oz. 6c, lb. 15c, y 2 lb. 2Sc, lb. 50c. 5 lbs for only

EARLY SCARLET HORN— One of the most popular of all varieties. A favorite for 



early crop. In color it is a deep, beautiful orange, flesh finely grained and of 

 agreeable flavor, tops small, has a short, stump-shaped root, large at top, there- 

 fore being easily pulled. Grows well in shallow soil, of fine quality, yields well 

 and sells well. Pkt. 3c, oz. 6c, H lb. 18c, % lb. 30c, lb. 50c, 5 lbs. for only f3.25

OXHEART OR GUERANDE— Tops small for the size of the root, specimens of which 

 have been grown which were over 7 inches in diameter. They are broad, top- 

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

 small tap root and by reason »f their shape are very easily 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 5 or 6 inches long. When young 

 excellent for table use. and when mature equally good for stock. Pkt. 3c, oz. 6c. 

 y± lb. 18c. J.< lb. 30c. lb. 50c, 5 lbs for only §2.25 prepaid. 

 EARLY FRENCH FORCING— Absolutely the earliest of carrots, but of somewhat 

 smaller size, roundish in shape and exceptionally sweet and tender, very desirable 

 for forcing purposes and is used extensively for bunching for earliest market use. It is also a very valuable variety for home use. 

 Small tops and roots. Pkt. 2c. oz. 6c, % lb. 18c, K lh. 30c, lb. 50c. 

 10CKBEE S IMPROVED SHORT WHITE— This distinct variety is, we think, destined to take first rank as a field carrot, owing to its 

 enormous productiveness and its growing well out of the ground, making it comparatively easy to harvest. Roots one-half long, 

 smooth, very heavy at the shoulder, but taper regularly to the point: color light green above* ground, white below; flesh rich, white, 

 solid and crisp and of excellent flavor. This variety is a real acquisition as a heavy yielding-, easily harvested white carrot and is 

 K\e best of this class. Pkt. 4c, oz. 7c, % lb. 20c, y 2 lb. 35c, lb. 60c, 5 lbs. for only §2.75 postpaid. 

 .MAMMOTH WHITE BELGIAN — A splendid variety for fattening stock. The roots are suprisingly mammoth in size and the productive- 

 ness is amazingly enormous, often yielding 50tons and over per acre. It is highly recommended by experimental stations and agri- 

 cultural colleges for fattening all kinds of stock, and exceptionally desirable for its great milk prodiu ing qualities. My stock it of 

 Superior quality and will sive you the best of satisfaction. Pkt. 2c," oz. 5c. * 4 lb. 15c. lb. 25c. lb. 40c. 5 lbs. for only §1.75 pit-paid. 

 SUMMOTH YELLOW BELGIAN— Identical to the above except in color. Very valuable for stock. Pkt. 2c, oz. 5c, J£ lb. 15c, % lb. 25c,

supply of milk to a wonderfu 



for stock. Dairymen prize them very highly for their great fattening qualities and increasing the 

 degree. There "is no better food in winter "for horses and other stock than carrots cut small, then 



- rrinkli'd with salt and fed with meal. Do not fail to take advantage of the exceedingly low prices which I have placed on this si ed 

 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. I would particularly recommend that those interested in growing roots for stock feeding send to the U, 

 3. Department of Asrricivlture, Washington, D. C.. for a free copy of Bulletin No. 11. giving the analysis of American Feeding Stuffs.
