excellent quality

delicious.

CARROT. 



Chantenay, Half Long Scarlet. The popular sort for bunching. This is recognized 

 everywhere as one of the best bunching varieties, and is popular with all growers. 

 It is used largely in frames where the small tops allow close planting. In the open 

 ground it has long been a standard sort. It is broadest at the shoulder, and tapers 

 towards the base, running quickly to a point. 25 lbs. and over 85c. pound. (See 

 specialties page 7) 



Coreless, Henderson's. A long, smooth variety of excellent quality 



Danvers, Henderson's Selected. Our idea of a good Danvers Carrot is a root about 

 eight inches long, broad at the shoulder, and maintaining a good diameter until near 

 the base, then going quickly to a point. This type is admirably suited to the market. 

 It gives great weight per acre, and is easily dug. (.See engraving.) (See specialties 

 page 7). 25 lbs. and over 85c. pound. . 



Early French Forcing. Largely grown for forcing. 



Early Scarlet Horn. Early, 3 to 4 inches long, and a favorite for bunching 



Half Long Red, Stump-rooted Nantes. A shapely stump-rooted variety, of medium 

 siae and one of tne best for summer use. The roots are almost cylindrical in shape 

 with blunt round points. The skin is smooth; and the flesh is very sweet and mild in 

 flavor having very little yellow heart or core. It is also one of the best sorts for frame 



Hutchinson. This variety is of the Danvers type but the roots arj not so broad at the 

 shoulders and are considerably longer and also more cylindrical in shape. (See 

 specialties page 7.) 



Intermediate, Henderson's. One of the best long rooted Carrots grown, good for pitting 

 over winter; grand color. Grows best on deep soil 



New York Market, Henderson's. Similar to Danvers, but not so heavy; a good basket 

 carrot and keeps well. A favorite in all eastern markets 



Long Orange Improved. Our strain of this well-known Carrot is heavy at the shoulder 

 and of great weight. It averages 12 inches in length, and is 3 inches across at the 

 shoulder; it is clear and smooth throughout, and will produce enormous crops per acre.

 passed.

Gilt Edge Erfurt. Large, heavy sort, maturing immediately after our Snowball. 

 One of the best varieties

CELERY. 



EARLY SELF-BLANCHING VARIETIES. These grow quickly, blanch easily, and are 

 especially adapted for fall and early winter use. 



Silver Self-Blanching, Henderson's. Has the color and blanching quality of the old 

 White Plume, but is more stocky in growth. It makes a most attractive bunch, and 

 of excellent quality 



Golden Self-Blanching. (See engraving). (See specialties page 8) 



Golden Plume Celery. (See specialties page 8) 



Henderson's Perfected White Plume. An old favorite in the sell-blanching sorts, the 



first of the type, still wanted in many sections 



SECOND EARLY, LONG-KEEPING AND WINTER VARIETIES. 



"Easy Blanching", Henderson's. (See specialties page o) 



Giant Pascal. Very distinct. The plant has f ewer stalks than any other, these are al- 

 most as thick as broad, of fine texture and delicious quality. It blanches easily, and 

 being a little quicker than most of the late sorts, is usually marketed earlier 



Golden Dwarf, Henderson's. This is grown just as widely as ever for a winter crop. 

 It stands pitting remarkably well, where its robust character enables it to resist rust 

 and rot. It is medium in height; the stalks are solid, fleshy and crisp. It has an 

 abundant heart, the inner leaves blanching to a rich creamy yellow color, which shows 

 up well in the bunch 



Boston Market. Solid green stalks, blanching white; crisp and tender; habit dwarf 

 and robust: a splendid keeper 



Winter Queen. A selection from Henderson's Golden Dwarf. The habit of the plant 

 is dwarf, and it has great vigor. The stalks are medium long, thick, only slightly 

 ribbed, extremely solid, and very crisp. The flavor is delicious when thoroughly 

 blanched. It may be marketed late, at which time its quality will ensure good prices
