HALF -LONG 
Danvers Carrot 
j A handsome half-long, cylindrical, stump-.HMK 
rooted Carrot of good size and of a rich, dark : = 
orange color; it grows to a large size, is 
smooth, and the flesh very close in textnre, A 
with very little core and a small tapering tap- ijjl 
root. It is a first-class Carrot for all soils; un- '!» 
der good cultivation it has yielded 25 to 30 
tons per acre with the smallest length of root 
of any now grown, and is more easily harvested 
than the longer types. Our selected stock- 
gives the best of satisfaction. {See GuP-^--

Culture.— For spring and early summer crop sow in March or 
early in April in hotbed; transplant to coldframe when sufficiently 
large, and to the open ground as soon as danger of hard freezing is 
over; after plants are set put a little shell lime around each plant. 
For late crop sow at same time as for late cabbage and treat in the 
same manner. After the heads begin to form draw the leaves over 
and pin or tie them together to proteet the heads. Our Cauli- 
flower seed is produced by the most experienced growers in 
Europe, and the greatest care is taken to save the seed from per* 
fectly developed plants only.

White 
SNOWHITE CELERY 
The new Sno white is a pure white, self -blanching variety, introduced in 1902, after five 
years of. careful - selection and improvement. It is without a rival in purity of color. The 
originator says on this point. "In the season of 1900 I set 7,000 plants of Snowhite and 
found seven green stalks; in 1901, three thousand plants and only one green stalk, and in 
1902, six thousand plants, and not a single stalk that was not pure white. It does well where 
others fail." Mr. B. J. Hollister, the noted Celery grower, and author of our book on Celery 
Growing, also says : "The pearly whiteness of the stalks of your Snowhite Celery denotes 
good constitution, and, together with the size, strength and number of the stalks, makes a 
perfect picture." In vigor of growth, ease of blanching, size, richness of flavor, crispness 
and purity, it is ideal. Our picture, made from a portion of a photograph of one dozen stalks, 
gives some idea of the beauty of this variety, but not of the size. The dozen stalks weighed 
20 pounds. Single stalks sometimes weigh 2% pounds, and quite frequently 2 pounds each. 
.It grows solid on all kinds of soil and keeps better that many standard varieties. See illus- 
tration. Pkt. IOc, oz. 30c, %lb. $i, ib. $3.25.
