CARROT 
Ger. — Hloehrc. 
Seaiid. — GiilruU. 
(One ounce to 100 led in drill; 3 to 4 pounds to an acre.) 
Good sandy loam is best adapted for Carrots of ail varie- 
ties. The shorter varieties, however, can be sown in heav- 
ier lands with good rosulls. 
Amsterdam Forcing — A very early and rapid growei'. Half 
long in shape, and of good color. A favorite for market 
gardeners' early crop. 
French Forcing — This Carrot is 
one of such quick growth that 
a good name for it is the Rad- 
ish Carrot, for it certainly ma- 
tures as quickly as a radish. It 
has a very fine neck and a 
rather hollow crown. We high- 
ly recommend it to all our cus- 
tomers who desire a small, 
early, delicious Carrot that will 
mature early, but must be sown 
in very rich soil. 
Carrot — French Forcing. 
Early Shorthorn — Earliest and best standard table variety; 
short top, sweet and tender. 
Carrot — Oxheart or Giierande. 
Oxheart or Guerande — Medium early, bright orange color 
fine grained and sweet; one of the best table varieties. 
Can be pulled by hand; well suited to heavy soils, but 
will thrive equally well in other situations. 
Early Chantenay — A French variety, well adapted to fam- 
ily' or market gardener's use, as it is tender, fine grained 
and sweet. 
Danvers Half Long — A standard variety, and one of the 
heaviest croppers. Color dark orange, very thick shoul- 
der, nf a most excellent qualify. Length 8 to tO inches. 
Half Long Scarlet Stump Rooted— A variety about as large 
as Danvers, but not so thick. It is of imiform thickness 
from shoulder to root and very stump-rooted. 
IniF»rovcd Long Orange — Excellent variety for garden or 
fii'ld culture. Good quality for dairy cows: attains large 
size. 
CARHOTS FOR STOCK. 
Mastodon — A vast improvement on the White and Yellow 
Belgian sort. The roofs are shdrt and very heavy at the 
shoulder, and frequently measure 15 to 20 inches, yield- 
ing from 20 to 25 tons to the acre. 
White Relgian — Grown extensively for stock feeding. Very 
heavy cropper. 
Victoria — Our records prove this to be the most popular 
Red Stock Carrot in the list, no doubt on account of its 
sweetness and heavy yield. 
CAULIFLOWER 
(One ounce for 3,000 plants.) 
Karly Snowball. 
Culture — Cauliflower is a gross feeder, and well repays 
heavy manuring and high culture. It succeeds best, on 
well drained soil. For spring crop, plant the seed in pro- 
tected beds early in February and the plants will be ready 
to transplant, probably early in .Vpril. The young plants 
should lie thinned, since they beconic very spindly if al- 
low-ed to grow too thick in see<l bed. 
Early Snowball — Is the best all-round Cauliflower on the 
market — early or late — foi' the family or th(< market 
garden. It heads where otlioi's fail. Its close and com- 
pact growth habit permits oni -lhird more to be planted 
on the same quantify of ground than can be done with 
other varieties. 
Early Erfurt — An extra early variety; scarcely a plant falls 
to produce a head. 
Danish Giant or Dry Weather — Is more resistant to un- 
favorable seasons than other sorts, particularly in dry 
weather. 
Early. Paris — A compact, short-stemmed variety of excep- 
tional merit, especially adapted to the family garden. 
Danish Perfection— This sort is a very early and dwarf 
variety, and most desirable for both the market gardener 
and tiie home gardien. 
.i\u<unin Giant^ — \ splenilid late variety, as its name indi- 
cates. Vei'y large, very white and a sure header under 
almosi nil conditions.
