LOBBERICH'S 

 AGRICULTURAL CARROT. 



isi The Chantenay or Model 



This variety is a very productive one. It lias an extra large shoulder, 

 is easily dug, and is desirable in all respects. It is a stump rooted sort, 

 very smooth, fine in texture and of a beautiful, rich, orange color. For 

 table use it is considered by many to be the best of al 1, both on account 

 of shape and quality. The flesh, when cooked, is vei'y tender. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 1.5 cts.; pound, #0 cts.; poxiud, ^1.35.

Considered the best field carrot ever offered to American farmers. It 

 is of a rich yellow color, stump rooted, and grows to a very large size. I 

 introduced it some years ago at the personal suggestion of a leading 

 French seedsman, and have received countless testimonials of its great 

 availability and worth. It has proved to be a most valuable carrot for 

 stock feeding, and in my own comparative trials it far outyields other 

 sorts. It is remarkably free from toughness; while in its young state it 

 may be used for culinary purposes, as it cooks sweet and tender. 

 Paclset, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts. 5 pound, 50 cts.; pound, $1.75.

Mine is, I think, the strongest and purest strain of the well known 

 Long Orange carrot on the market. The roots are of large size, and 

 are smooth, fine grained and in all respects superioi'. Except in soil 

 treated to raw stable manure, which makes all root crops rough, this 

 carrot is always well formed. The color is deep orange, as indicated by 

 the came. Enormous crops can be grown under good culture, particu- 

 larly in a deep, light soil. 



Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; 1^ pound, 40 cts.; jjound, $1.35.

or 



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

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

 and specimens have been raised measuring over 7 inches in diameter. 

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

 profitable for market. Oxheart can be easily 

 pulled, which makes the harvesting of this 

 variety quite inexpensive. If you want an 

 early, handsome, 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. Plct., 10 cts.; oz., 

 15 cts.; 14 lb., 40 cts.; 11>., $1.35.
