Carrots Make 



Beautiful Edging Plants for Flower Beds 



CAULIFLOWER 



Ctjltukb. The same as for cabbage, except that 

 extra manure and plenty of water will pay upon 

 Cauhflower. 



Extra-Early Snowball. Our stock of this 

 well-known variety is unexcelled. It is one 

 of the best sorts for open ground or forcing 

 under glass. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1.50; 

 Mlb. $5. 



G. & T. Co.'s Drought-Resisting. Pro- 

 duces larger, white, solid heads, maturing 

 about a week later than our Large Gilt- 

 Edge Snowball. The best for hot, dry 

 weather. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1.50; M'b. $5. 



G. & T. Co.'s Large Gilt-Edge Snowball. 



Without exception, one of the finest sorts 

 now in cultivation. It is very early. Nearly 

 every plant will, under proper cultivation, 

 form a perfect, snow-white head, and its 

 close-growing, compact habit enables the 

 grower to plant one-third more on the same 

 space of ground than other varieties. Pkt. 

 25 cts.; oz. $1.50; Mlb. $5. 



G. & T. Co.'s Select Early Dwarf Erfurt. 



Long the standard of highest excellence, 

 and still holding its own. Pkt. 25 cts.; 

 oz. $1.50; Mlb. $5. 



CARROTS 



Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of row 



Culture. Carrots thrive best in a lather light, 

 rich loam. The ground should be well manured 

 with fine, well-rotted or composted manure, and 

 be thoroughly worked quite deep. Sow from 

 middle of April to middle of May, in rows 14 inches 

 apart, and thin the plants to 5 to 6 inches in the 

 row. For late crops, sow in June or July. An im- 

 portant point is to tread the rows firmly after sow- 

 ing. For field-culture, Carrots should be sown in 

 drills 3 to 3J.^ feet apart, so as to allow horse- 

 cultivation. 



Chantenay. A most excellent, medium- 

 early, half-long variety. It is one of the 

 best in quality for the market- and home- 

 garden, while its great productiveness and 

 the ease with which it can be harvested 

 make it desirable as a field sort. The tops 

 are medium-sized, uniformly half-long or 

 stump-rooted, but tapering slightly, 

 smooth, deep orange-red in color. Its 

 flesh is very crisp and tender. The variety 

 is extensively used for bunching. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; ]4\h. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts. 



Early Scarlet Horn. The earliest variety 

 in our list. Blunt-pointed, about 3 inches 

 long, \}/2 inches thick, very fine-grained, 

 sweet-flavored; deep rich orange color. 

 Fine for bunching. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 Mlb. 30 cts.; lb. 90 cts. 



Chantenay Carrots 



CARROTS, continued 



Half-Long Danvers. A decided acquisition 

 of the half-long type, broad-shouldered, 

 cylindrical, admirable in color, fixed in 

 habits. A wonderful producer. It is a 

 first-class Carrot for all soils. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 15 cts.; J^lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts. 



Improved Long Orange. Deep orange; 

 long, smooth. Fine for either garden or 

 field culture. All who have cattle should 

 raise a surplus of this Carrot for feeding 

 milch cows during winter. It increases the 

 flow of milk and imparts to the butter a 

 delicious flavor and a rich golden color. 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Jilb. 30 cts.; lb. 

 90 cts. 



Oxheart or Guerande. One of the heaviest 

 yielders and the best for stiff and heavy 

 soils where the long varieties would fail. 

 The roots are often 3 to 3}^ inches thick 

 at the top and nearly oval in shape. Flesh 

 is bright orange, fine-grained, and sweet, 

 of the finest table quality, and equally good 

 for stock. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; ^\h. 

 30 cts.; lb. 90 cts. 



CELERY 



One ounce of seed will produce 2,000 plants 



Culture. Plant seed in hotbed or very early in 

 open ground. When plants are 3 inches high, 

 transplant 4 inches apart, in rich soil, finely pul- 

 verized; water and protect until well rooted. In 

 June or July transplant into rows 3 to 4 feet apart, 

 either on surface or well-manured trenches a foot 

 in depth, half filled with well-rotted manure. Set 

 the plants from 6 to 8 inches apart. To blanch, 

 draw earth around the plants from time to time, 

 taking care not to cover the top of the center shoots. 



Easy-Blanching. A second-early variety, 

 maturing right after Golden Self-blanch- 

 ing, and resembling it in size and general 

 characteristics of growth, but the foliage 

 is a bright, rich green. Stalks are thick, 

 solid, tmusually meaty, pure white, heavy, 

 crisp, and of extra-fine quality. A valuable 

 variety for fall, winter, and early spring 

 use. Easily blanched. It has quickly 

 become a great favorite with many market 

 growers. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; Mlb. 

 60 cts.; lb. $2. 



Giant Pascal. A selection from the well- 

 known Self-blanching Celery, it partakes 

 of the best qualities of that variety, is 

 somewhat larger, and an excellent keeper. 

 It has a fine nutty flavor, being entirely 

 free from any bitter taste. Grows about 

 2 feet high and the stalks are very broad, 

 thick, and crisp. The width and thickness 

 of these are distinctive features of this 

 variety. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; Mlb. 

 65 cts. ; lb. $2. 



Golden Plume or Wonderful. Much better 

 than White Plume in appearance, crisp- 

 ness, and fine nutty flavor, though some- 

 what earlier, larger, and of ranker growth. 

 Blanches quickly, with full heart and rich, 

 golden yellow color. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 

 cts.; ]4\h. SI; lb. $4. 



Golden Self-Blanching. This cannot be 

 too highly recommended as, after being 

 thoroughly tested, it has fulfilled all that 

 has been claimed for it. Decidedly the 

 very best and most profitable Celery in 

 cultivation. It is very early and entirely 

 self-blanching. The beautiful appearance 

 of the plant, its close habit, compact 

 growth, straight, vigorous stalks, solid, 

 crisp, brittle ribs, fine quality, and delicious 

 flavor commend it to all lovers of Celery. 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; Mlb. 90 cts.; 

 lb. $3.25.

Winter Queen. It is, without doubt, the 

 most valuable variety of Celery for winter

 Celery. Ribs perfectly solid, crisp, and of 

 delicious nutty flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 

 20 cts.; 141b. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75. 



White Plume. An early, handsome, self- 

 blanching variety, growing in popularity

 ing, it requires very little earthing up to 

 blanch it, and as a Celery for fall and early 

 winter use it is unsurpassed. Pkt. 10 cts.;
