SELECTED MARKET GARDENERS' STOCKS 



Danvers Half -Long 



A handsome half-long cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot of good size 

 and of a rich dark orange color; it grows to a large size; is smooth, and 

 the flesh very close in texture with very little core. It is a first-class 

 Carrot for all soils and has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre. It is more 

 easily harvested than the larger types and is excellent to store for 

 winter, for stock or table use. (See engraving.) 



Price, oz. 20c, h lb. 40c, lb. $1.25. (10 lb. lots @ $1.15 lb.). 



Pride of Denmark. 



Pride of Denmark is of the Nantes type, 

 with roots about the same length as that 

 variety, but heavier at the shoulder, and a little more pointed. They 

 are very smooth and of a good rich orange color, giving them a most 

 attractive appearance. The tops are bushy and rather large, which is 

 desirable in a market variety. (See engraving.) 



Price, oz. 25c, M lb. 75c, lb. $2.00. (10 lb. lots @ $1.90 lb.). 



R^H CW*» CUantf>nav We feel confident that the popularity 



rvea ^ore v^nanienay. f this new strain will outrival that of 



the old Chantenay, because in this type, the core has been practically 

 bred out. The color is also deeper and richer which gives the beauti- 

 fully shaped roots an even more attractive appearance. In all other 

 respects it possesses the fine qualities of its parent, Chantenay.

 longer and more cylindrical in shape. 



Hutchinson Carrot yields a heavy crop and is a great favorite in some of 

 the eastern states being extensively grown by the market gardeners. We 

 consider our stock of Hutchinson to be extra fine. 



Price, oz. 30c, M lb. 90c, lb. $3.00. (10 lb. lots @ $2.90 lb.). 



TpnHpi-«wPPt H*>nrW«snn'«s The roots measure eight 



i enaersweet, nenaerson s. t0 ten inches in lengthj 



and taper slightly off to a blunt end. The color is the richest ever 

 seen on a carrot. The flesh is a deep orange and the outer skin is 

 scarlet. 



Tendersweet is very hardy and a heavy cropper, and we are 

 certain that it is going to be a favorite with market growers. The 

 tops are quite different from the tops of other carrots; as both 

 the midribs and the stems show a distinct purple tinge. 



Price, oz. 35c, % lb. $1.15, lb. $3.50. (10 lb. lots @ $3.25 lb.).
