Improved LomjG Orange Carrot. 



An improvement ob- 

 tained by years of care- 

 ful selection of the best 

 formed and deepest col- 

 ored roots of the old 

 Long Orange, and of the 

 older sorts for farm use 

 the most popular on mel- 

 low soil. Roots shorter, 

 thicker and smoother 

 than those of the Long 

 Orange, but so uniform and true that the bulk of the crop 

 will be greater. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 3 Oz. 15c; % Lb. 35c;
