\^lla.lH.CHay • this is considered^ partic- 
ularly desirable. The carrots have attained 
such a uniformity that they are almost du- 
plicates of each other. The tops are of medium 
size, neck small, roots tapering slightly but uni- 
formly, stump rooted. The color is orange red, 
the flesh very crisp, tender and sweet. Our cus- 
tomers cannot make a mistake by giving this 
variety a trial. Pkt. sc, oz. lo, 1-4 ">. asc.lb. 8sc.

CULTURE— When it is possible to do so, it is advisable to 
sow as early in the spring as the ground is fit to work, though 
XOOd crops "mav, in this l.-ititude, be grown from sowings as latt 
ts Tune 1st, but one is less certain of good crops from such late 
olanting Prepare the ground thoroughly and sow m drills li> 
to 24. inches apart, using from one and one-half to three pounds 
to the acre, according to the distance between rows Cover 
one-half to one inch deep and see toitthatthc soil is well firmed 
above the seed. As soon as the plants appear, use the cultiva- 
tor or wheel hoe and do not let the weeds get a start. Thin to 
three to six inches apart in the row as soon as the plants are 
large enough. For winter use gather and store like beets or 
turnips. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long. ^ ^ ,

(Seecut.) Undoubtedly the finest Carrot for general use that has been Intro- 
duced. As will be seen bv our illustration it is rather long, coming abruptlv 
to a point and has almost no side shoots. In color it is a rich shade of orange and the flesh is solid, 
yellow and with no core. It is free from the coarse, rank flavor found in most of the varieties of its size. 
For home use we cannot too hlghl}^ recommend it to our patron.s, and we know that for amateurs it is une- 
qualed by any other variety. We introduced this several years ago and each season convinces us that it 
IS to become one t)f the leading varieties for private giirdens. Pkt. loc. oz. iSC, 1-4 lb. 3SC, lb. $1.00.
