white heads. : 
Early Snowball. A fine variety, 
great favorite and standard 
‘throughout the country; very earls 
close growing, of compact habit. 
It is w:thout doubt one of the most 
satisfactory early varieties. The 
heads are large. For early or late 
planting, for the family or the 
market garden this variety can be 
depenced upon for excellent re- 
sults.

Early Dwarf Erfurt. This variety is of 
more dwarfish growth than the two 
former. Heads white and of good size. 
Heads with certainty. 
Early !talian Giant. Very large fine 
sort, not quite so late as the Late Italian, 
and almost as large. The heads are 
quite large, white and compact, and of 
delicous flavor. We recommend it to 
all who have not tried it. When sown at 
the proper season, it wil: head with cer- 
tainty and will not fail to give satisfac- 
tion. 
Extra Early Paris. Reliable early va- 
rety. Good for forcing; produces a good 
head; dwarf habit; solid, pure white 
curd of superior quality. Should be 
planted very early. 
Large Algiers. A French variety of 
the same season as the Le Normands. It 
is one of the best kinds, and has taken 
the place of other second early varieties 
since it has been introduced.

Oxheart, or Guerande. This is an en- 
tirely distinct variety and deserving of 
general cultivation. Jt grows three to 
four ‘nebes in diameter, is early, nearly 
oval in shape, and the quality is all that 
can be desired. 
Chantenay Half Long. A half long 
scarlet variety; similar to the Half Long 
Lac, but thicker. 
Creole. This carrot was originally the 
Half-Long French variety, but grown in 
Louis'ana a number of years it partakes 
of the ecclor of the Half-Long French 
but grows considerably longer. This 
ecarrct can be planted at the time of year 
when Northern or French varieties can- 
not be planted; for instance in very 
early Spring or late Fall. We highly 
recommend this variety of Carrots.
