Good Seed, Full Weight and a Fair Price. 
Viek's Ideal— New. This cauliflower is of the Erfurt class ; 
growth somewhat larger than most of the Erfurts, and makes a 
larger head which is remarkably heavy and solid. This and 
Batzke's Erfurt make the heaviest heads of any I have tested. It 
is later than Snowball, and should be set ten days or two weeks 
earlier. It has the same ingrowing habit of its inner leaves as 
the Snowball only more so. Per packet, 50 cents ; oz. , $8.00.

Per packet, 25 cents ; oz., $3.00. 
The Algiers — This is a very large and the best of all the late 
cauliflowers. It should be set 3x3 feet. It makes the largest 
head of any cauliflower I have grown, though they are not 
quite so white or solid as the Snowballs or Erfurts, but many 
prefer them on account of their large size. Sow the seed quite- 
early in the open ground and set the plants by June 20th, and 
you may expect fine cauliflowers by the middle of September..

CARROTS. 
Carrots require a deep,, 
rich soil. I grow them very 
successfully on muck land. 
Last season I grew 520 bush- 
els of the Danvers Orange 
on 88 rods of land. I con- 
sider them excellent for 
horses, when kept on dry 
feed. Sow about the middle 
of May, in drills eighteen 
inches apart, and thin to 
three inches in the rows. 
Keep free from weeds and 
the tops will soon shade the- 
ground, and further weed- 
ing will be unnecessary. 
The White Belgian will 
give the largest crops, but is 
not as nutritious as the 
Orange Carrots. As it grows 
partly above ground, it is 
easier to harvest. 
The Danvers Orange — 
I regard the Danvers Car- 
danvers orange. rot as great an improve- 
ment on the Long Orange as the Danvers onion is on the com- 
mon yellow. It gives greater bulk with less length of root, and 
being shorter it is easier to dig. My seed is the genuine Dan- 
vers, Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 10 cents ; lb., $1.00. 
LiOng" Orange— This is an old standard variety and largely 
grown. Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 10 cents ; lb., $1.00. 
Half Liong Orange, Stump-rooted Nantes— A stump- 
rooted Orange Carrot intermediate between the Long Orange- 
and the French Short Horn. A very fine carrot for bunching. 
Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 10 cents ; lb., $1.00. 
Chantenay Stump-rooted — For description see Specialties,, 
page 9. Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 15 cents ; lb., $1.25. 
Guerande or Ox- 
heart— This varie- 
ty, though not a 
long carrot, will 
produce large crops, 
the diameter often 
being as great as the 
length. Bright or- 
ange and fine grain- 
ed. This carrot, by 
reason of its short- 
ness, would be es- -^■■^^BM|iB
