\\\' ri'COKnizc Carruls as (luc ol Uio most important 

 as wi ll as most prolitablo crops to inarkot-iijardiriKTs, and 

 lor this reason spare no efforts to secure lor our critical 

 iiade the best oljtainable anywhere. Years ago tlie bulk 

 ol our Carrot seed came trom France, the same as our 

 Krets. 'riie war, howev er, lias seriously interfered witli 

 I he production of sutticient seed stocks, so that, of late, 

 I' l ance has not been able to furnish us all the Carrot 

 -^l ed we need. This, in turn, has served as a tremendous 

 slinuilus to American growers, and we are proud to say 

 ( hat oLM" best strains of Carrot seeds, as now produced in 

 California, compare favorably with the choicest we get 

 liom France. Vou will (ind all our strains productive of 

 uniformly handsome roots lliat will find ready sales in 

 any market. 



Strains of Special Merit 



Half-Long Luc. (French-grown.) This particular strain 

 of halt-long stump-rooted Carrot is in great demand 

 among our most critical customers. It perfects very 

 symmetrical roots of deep orange-red color early in 

 tile season. It is most productive and of extraordinary 

 riuality, having but a faint indication of a core. In 

 ijood soils, under I'avorable conditions, it will yield up 

 t:o_2S tons per acre. Oz. 2Sc., yjih. 70 cts., lb. $2.50. 



Chantenay, or Model. (See illustration.) Also of the 

 half-long or blunt-rooted type, it is in great favor 

 among market-gardeners for early trade. It perfects 

 handsome, rich orange-red-skinned roots in a remark- 

 ably short time, and presents a most attractive appear- 

 ance bunched. Oz. IS cts., V^Ib. 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



Danvers. This is the standby for main crop with garden- 

 ers throughout the country. On good soil and undei 

 clean cultivation it has yielded from 25 to 30 tons per 

 acre. The product is always handsome and commands 

 highest prices. Danvers is an unsurpassed winter 

 keeper. Oz. 15 cts., V^b. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



Rubicon. An exceptionally fine sort of the Danvers Half- 

 Long type, in great favor with many of our critical 

 customers. Oz., 15 cts. Vilb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



Cauliflower 



M 



m \ ou have often wondered, no doubt, why Cauliflower seed is so expensive. As 



m the most highly perfected form of cabbage, Cauliflower is but a shy yielder as com- 



pared with other members of the same plant family. In the field illustration you 



will sec certain stalks that have papers tied around them. 



That is the method pursued by our growers to designate 



perfect plants from which will be saved the seeds 



for next year s crop of seeds. This careful method of 



critical selection adds, of course, to the cost of produc- 

 tion, but it stands, in a measure for crop-insurance to 



the man who grows the product for market. 



(See 

 illustration) 



I ■nsurpass..-d b.v an>- strain on the market. Under 

 prop^-r conditions a sure cropper. Produces large, snow- 

 white, close and compact heads. 6 to 10 inches in diam- 

 eter. .Stalks stout and of compact growth, and can be 

 planted closely. Equally goofi for late or early crop.
