San Jose Champion 



An Excellent Bunching Carrot 



A desirable and improved form of the Half-Long Scarlet carrot. In 

 shape midway between Chantenay and Long Orange. It is quite 

 broad at the top and tapers to a blunt point. Flesh is a dark reddish- 

 orange color, tender and sweet. A heavy cropper, maturing the same 

 time as Danvers, yielding 35 to 40 tons per acre. A handsome 

 market variety on account of its fine shape and appearance. Its sweet- 

 ness and color is more pronounced than any other carrot, making it 

 an ideal table sort; and for stock raisers its high feeding properties 

 and enormous yield per acre is just what has been wanted. As a 

 winter keeper it is one of the best. A very popular sort. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; % pound, 70 cts.; pound, $2.25.

MAULE'S DANVERS CARROT. 



152 Mauled Danvers Carrot 



The Popular Carrot for the Home Garden or Market 



This variety is well adapted to all soils and sections, and some years 

 it leads our whole list as the best seller. It is half long in shape, 

 almost cylindrical, somewhat stump rooted, and of rich, dark orange 

 color. We claim that it will yield greater bulk and weight for a given 

 length of root than any other carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre 

 of Maule's Danvers have been grown, and a yield of 25 to 30 tons per 

 acre is not uncommon. Grown extensively by market gardeners for 

 bunching and makes a handsome appearance on the market stalls; of 

 the finest quality. One of the most profitable sorts grown, which makes 

 it a widely popular and successful home or market carrot. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; y± pound, 83 cts.; pound, $3.00.

Oxheart or Guerande 



A Good Cropper and an Excellent Keeper 



This carrot is a splendid sort. In length it comes between Early Scar- 

 let Horn and Half Long Scarlet. It runs fully 3 to 4 inches in diameter, 

 and specimens have been raised measuring over 7 inches iu diameter. In 

 quality it is extra good, and will prove satisfactory for home use and pro- 

 fitable for market. Oxheart can be easily pulled, which makes the 

 harvesting of this variety quite inexpensive. If you want an early, hand- 

 some, ready selling carrot, this sort will suit you. It will yield as heavy a 

 crop as the Danvers, with this advantage, that it can be grown thicker 

 and can be raised on stonier land. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; % pound, 75 cts.; pound. $2.50.
