H enderson's NEW YORK MARKET CARROT. 



This Carrot, introduced by us, has become a standard variety. Its quick 

 growth makes it valuable for early bunching. It is handsome and symmetrical, 

 of bright orange color; flesh crisp, tender and sweet, almost coreless, unexcelled 

 for bunching, and as a basket sort it commands top prices, its attractive color 

 and fine shape always giving it prominence. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. 

 i lb., 80c. lb. 



H enderso ns INTERMEDIATE CARROT. 



The best main crop and late Carrot. It is most uniform in shape, long- 

 tapering, heavy shouldered, and where the soil is favorable it will always grow 

 clean and free from side roots. The core is small and very tender, and there 

 is no woody character at any stage of its growth. It is also entirely free from 

 any coarse, rank flavor, and its yielding capacity is enormous, which, with its 

 handsome color and fine appearance, makes it invaluable to truckers. The 

 color is maintained right along throughout the winter and they come out of the 

 pits as bright and fresh as when first dug. This makes it the best sort for winter 

 storing. Price, 10c. oz., 25c. | lb., 70c. lb. 



" I have bought my Carrot Seed jrom your house for several years, because it always has given me the 

 highest satisfaction." CHAS. W . INGALLS, Watkins. N. Y. 



CHANTENAY HALF-LONG SCARLET CARROT. 



A short, thick, stump-rooted sort of handsome shape, very productive and 

 of fine quality. It is very largely grown for bunching and as an early basket 

 sort, and is remarkably even in shape and size; no sort equals it in this respect. 

 For medium early and main crop it is unexcelled. It is not recommended for 

 winter storing. Price, 10c. oz., 25c. \ lb., 70c. lb. 



Your Half-hong Scarlet Carrot is an early and very productive kind."

 ture, roots averaging 12 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter at the top;

" Last season I raised Long Orange Carrots from seeds purchased from yau that measured li feet in 

 length and 4 inches in diameter." N. E. DAVIS, Sheffield, Mass. 



BIG CARROTS. (From the Watkins Express, Watkins, N. Y.) 



" Mr. Bowers has on exhibition in his store a bushel-basket of carrots grown by Mr. Craft, Dr. S. B. 

 Allen's gardener. The combined weight of 12 of these carrots makes a bushel. One of the carrots is 15| 

 inches in circumference . 1 foot long, and weighs nearly 7 pounds. Upon being asked the reason of his 

 success in gardening, Dr. Allen said it was due to the use of good seed, which for the last 15 years he had 

 purchased of Peter Henderson and Co., of New York. Dr. Allen further remarked that he thought farmers 

 were generally too indifferent in regard to the Quality of seed which thcv used, and thai he had found it most 

 economical in the end to purchase tlie best."
