 ^^^^i5*'!?^v^ spring use. Plant vigorous, compact growing, 



^■^v -'>£r'J-^-r^ with, longer stem than most American sorts and

^^'^-^iS^'"^'^ solid of less diameter than the Premium 



Flat Dutch and matures a little later. The 

 leaves are w-hite and tender and not only 

 overlap or pass by each other more than 

 those of most sorts, but are so tightly drawn 

 as to form an exceedingly sohd head which 

 stands shipment better than those of any 

 other late sort. In quality it is one of the 

 best, being very white, crisp and tender. 

 We offer seed of our own growing which, 

 judging from recent trials, will prc'duce 

 more uniformly typical heads than can be 

 grown from, the best stocks obtainable 

 elsewhere. Pkt. 5c: Oz. 2oc; 2 Oz. 40c;

CARROT 



Early Scarlet Horn 



The carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots 

 deserving to be more extensively used for culinary purposes and we urge our 

 readers to give some of the early table sorts a trial. For feeding stock, es- 

 pecially horses and milch cows, the carrot cannot be surpassed and it should 

 be more largely grown by farmers for this purpose. 



While a sandy loam made rich by manuring 

 the previous year is the best soil for the carrot, 

 a/i?/ good land if thoroughly and deeply worked 

 will produce satisfactory crops. It is advisable 

 to sow as early in the spring as the ground is 

 fit to work, though good crops may be grown 

 from sowings as late as June 15. For table 

 use sow the smaller kinds early in rows 16 to 18 

 inches apart. For field culture sow in drills 18 

 to 24 inches apart, using from one and one-half 

 to three pounds of seed to the acre. Cover 

 one-half to one inch deep and see to it that 

 the soil is pre-^sed firmly above the seed. 

 As soon as the plants app'ear. use the culti- 

 vator or wheel hoe. Thin four to six inches 

 apart in the row. 



EARLIEST SHORT HORN The earliest vari- 

 ety in cultivation and best suited for forcing. 

 Tops small, finely divided; roots nearly round 

 and of reddish orange color, "SVhen fully ma- 

 tured about two inches in diameter but 

 should be used before fully grovm while 

 young and tender. Pkt. 5c: Oz. 10c: 2 Oz. 15c;
