V^OOD'S EARLY. FRAME— This is not only a good variety for forcing, being shorter and 

 thicker than the old Long Scarlet Short Top, but is one of the very best sorts for first crop 

 yt of doors. Pkt. oc; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



^Improved Charticr, or Shepherd :: 



Although this American variety is too strong growing 

 to be used for forcing, it is one of the very best for sowing 

 outdoors. The roots come to usable size very early, remain- 

 ing hard and crisp until they reach a diameter of an inch 

 or more, and so furnish good roots for a much longer time 

 than any of the preceding varieties. Roots scarlet rose 

 above, shading into white at the tip. They are long, cylin- 

 drical for the upper two-thirds, and then gradually taper 

 to the tip. Flesh white, crisp and mild flavored.

 is usable when quite small, thus covering a long season.

 metrical and uniform; nearly round, with grayish-
