 heavy cropper, producing 3 to 4 tons to the acre under good 

 culture. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 1.5 cts.; '/4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25.

 carrot for all soils, and it is claimed that under good culti- 

 vation it will yield the greatest weight per acre with the 

 smallest length of root of any now grown. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz.
