Early Snowball. (Henderson). The most popular va- 

 riety in cultivation, and grown more extensively than any 

 other sort; produces large solid pure white heads; a reliable 

 header, dwarf in habit and as early as the earliest. Pkt. 25 

 cts.; I oz. $1.25; oz. $4.00. 



Peerless. A very rare and superior strain of Extra Early 

 Cauliflower. In our experience with it in past years we have 

 invariably found it superior to any other, not excepting the 

 Snowball. Curds large, pure white and perfect in form It 

 is very early and a very certain header; also splendid for late 

 or intermediate. Our seed of this is very limited, and for 

 the past number of years we have not obtained sufficient to 

 enable us to offer it at all. Pkt. 25 cts. ; ] oz. $2.00. 



Very Dwaif Small-Leaved Eifurt. Differs Irom 

 others in that it has very narrow and pointed leaves, which 

 grow perfectly upright, thus adapting it for close cultivation 

 or forcing. It is a sure header; heads small and uniform. A 

 rapid grower and when grown for a fall crop it can be sown 

 later than any other variety. Pkt. 20 cts.; I oz. 90 cts.; oz. 

 $3.00. 



Long Island. Beauty. (American -grown seed.) Orig- 

 inated from an early fine head that developed ten days in 

 advance of any other in a field of Extra Early Erfurt. 



CARROT. (Mohre.) 



i one of the most 

 ltritiousof ourgar- 



The carrot 

 healthful and i 



den roots, and deserves to be more 

 extensively used for culinary pur- 

 poses. As an agricultural root, 

 the carrot is not surpassed for 

 feeding horses and milch cows, 

 and every farmer should plant a 

 few for this purpose. The carrot 

 succeeds best on a light, sandy 

 loam, made rich by manuring the 

 previous year. In freshly-manured 

 laud the roots often grow pronged 

 and ill-shaped. The secret of suc- 

 cess is to secure a quick germina- 

 tion and growth of the young 

 plants, which may be accom- 

 plished by rich soil, well prepared, 

 and pressing the soil firmly over 

 the seed with the feet or a roller. 

 It is better to sow as early in 

 the spring as the . ground can be 

 made ready, but if planting is 

 necessarily delayed until late in 

 the season, soak the seed in tepid 

 water, then dry by mixing in 

 sifted coal ashes or plaster, and 

 sow on freshly-prepared soil.

 drill ; four pounds to the acre. 



It has since been grown with great care and seed saved from 

 the finest selected heads. Pkt. 20 cts.; |-oz. 90 cts.; oz. §3.00. 



Extra Early Erfurt. Finest strain of Erfurt ever 

 offered, forming large heads; early and reliable, and in our 

 trials the past season it compared favorably with the Snow- 

 ball. Pkt. 20 cts.; I- oz, 90 cts.; oz. $3.00. 



Exira Early Paris. Short stalks and large leaves; 

 heads large, white and compact. A standard variety. Pkt. 

 10 cts. ; \ oz. 25 cts. ; oz. 75 cts.

 comes in when the other is about done. Pkt. 10 cts. ; \ oz. 

 20 cts. ; oz. 60 cts. 



Algiers. A fine variety, sure to head, and one of the 

 best for late use; the heads remain firm and solid for a long 

 time. Pkt. 10 cts.; \ oz. 25 cts ; oz. 75 cts. 



Lenormand's Short Stem Produces a very close and 

 uniform curd, well protected by leaves; hardy and stands dry 

 weather. Pkt. 10 cts ; oz. 60 cts. 



Vietch's Autumn Giant. The heads are beautifully 

 white, large, firm and compact, and being thoroughly pro- 

 tected by the foliage remain long fit for use. Pkt. 10 cts. ; 

 oz. 75 cts. 



Half-Long Stump-Rooted. In size and time of 

 maturity it is intermediate between the Dutch Horn and 

 the Long Orange ; it is a very desirable variety 

 and much grown for market; well adapted for both 

 second early and late crop ; smooth and rich orange in color 

 and of the best quality. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 cts. ; \ lb., 30 

 cts.; lb., $1.00.

 in this variety the roots are pointed, it does not, in size, earli- 

 ness or quality, differ from the Half-Long Stump-Rooted 

 sort. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



Earlv Scarlet Horn. Grown for the very early out- 

 door crop ; stump-rooted and about three inches in length ; 

 color bright orange, quality excellent ; owing to the shortness 

 of the roots they can be grown in quite shallow soil ; this 

 variety being used when quite young will require no thinning 

 out in the rows if sown somewhat sparingly. Pkt., 5 cts.; 

 oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00.
