Danvers Half-Long Carrot 



A VERY DESIRABLE GARDEN VARIETY 



A second-early Carrot which, no doubt, has attained its popularity because of its adaptability to all classes of 

 soil. Danvers Half-Long is one of the old types of Carrot, and although it resembles Rubicon in many ways, 

 it differs mainly in its slightly longer season and shape of root which will average from 6 to 8 inches, tapering 

 uniformly to a blunt point and being slightly smaller in diameter than the Rubicon. The color of the flesh 

 is a rich, deep orange, and the quality is most excellent. This Carrot is not entirely free from a core of a lighter 

 color than the exterior layers of flesh. For this reason we do not advise its use by canners, but this does not affect 

 its value for any other purposes. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vi^b. 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



Early Scarlet Horn 



(FRENCH FORCING) 



This is the standard early forcing Carrot. The roots 

 are quite small, only attaining a length of about 3 

 inches. When young this Carrot is of the very finest 

 quality. The roots are reddish orange in color and the 

 tops small. Care should be taken to harvest the crop 

 before it passes the eating stage. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., 

 V4lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.50. 



Oxheart, or Guerande 



A Carrot very largely used for hard, stiff soils for it 

 is the easiest to harvest under such conditions. The 

 tops are comparatively small, with roots 43^ inches to 

 5 inches in length and Sj/^ to 4 inches in diameter. The 

 flesh is a deep orange and of magnificent quality when 

 pulled young. Oxheart will produce more tons to the 

 acre than some of the other varieties and is very often 

 used for stock purposes. For horses, or as winter food 

 for milch cows, Carrots cannot be surpassed and we 

 would recommend a more general use of them by 

 farmers for this purpose. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 10 cts., Y/^ib. 

 30 cts., lb. $1. 



Saint Valery 



THE BEST CARROT OF THE LONG ORANGE TYPE 



It is grown most successfully in rather light soil, as 

 otherwise the harvest is sometimes difficult. Care 

 should be taken to prepare the ground deeper than with 

 other varieties, as Saint Valery is from 2 to 3 inches 

 longer than such Carrots as Rubicon or Danvers. We 

 have discarded the Long Orange in favor of St. Valery 

 because of the superior appearance of the latter variety. 

 Its color is reddish orange and its season follows very 

 closely on to the Danvers. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vi^b. 

 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



Yellow Belgian 



The standard Carrot for stock purposes. The roots 

 of this variety grow to about 12 inches in length, some- 

 what tapering and with a yellow flesh. It is a big 

 yielder and is generally considered the best Carrot for 

 stock purposes. The root of this Carrot protrudes above 

 the ground about one-third of its length, thus making 

 harvest comparatively easy. Yellow Belgian is no more 

 hardy than any of the table varieties and, therefore, 

 must be pulled before the killing frosts come in the 

 autumn. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V4lb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts
