Carrot, Guerande, or Oxheart. This variety has given great satisfaction. While 
not attaining one-half the length of many other varieties, it will compare favorably 
in bulk of crop, as on good land it will produce Carrots four to six inches in diam- 
eter. The crop can also be readily pulled. Price 5 dls. ; oz., 10 ( 5 ts. ; lb., 60 dts. 
Carrot, Imp. Long Orange. Too well known to need description ; an immense 
yielder ; best for stock. Price 5 dls. ; oz. , 10 dts. ; lb. , 55 &s. 
Carrot, Chantenay (or Model Carrot). For table use, it is probably tbe best in 
shape and finest in quality of all. They are a little longer than the “ Short Horn,” 
being thicker at the shoulder, and hence more productive; always very smooth and 
fine in texture, and easily dug; the flesh is of a beautiful, deep golden orange; very 
tender. Price 5 dts. ; oz., to dts. ; lb., 65 dts. 
Carrot, Danvers. Grown largely everywhere, on account of its great productive- 
ness and adaptability to all classes of soils. Tops medium size; roots deep orange, 
large, but medium length, tapering uniformly to a blunt point, smooth and handsome ; 
flesh, sweet, crisp, tender, and of a deep orange color. This variety, although the 
roots are shorter, produces as large a bulk as the older field sorts, and is easier har- 
vested. Price 5 dls.; oz., 10 dls.; lb., 65 dts. 
Catnip. Price 5 dts. ; oz., 25 dls. 
Celery, Golden SelJ-Bleaching and White Plume. These two fine varieties have 
their inner stalks bleached at all stages of growth, so that slight banking for a few

Celery, Pink Plume. Identical with “ White Plume,” but with the added merit of 
the stalks being exquisitely suffused with pink. Price 5 <^ts. ; oz., 25 dts. 
Celery, Giant Pascal. The best for winter use. The stalks are remarkably 
large, thick, solid and stringless. It is the largest Celery grown as regards width and 
thickness of stalks. When fully grown, the outer stalks average two inches wide, 
and are nearly as thick as a man’s finger. Price 5 dts. ; oz., 20 dls. 
Celery, Boston Market. Dwarf white, excellent quality. One of the best for 
late fall and winter use. Price S dts. ; oz., 20 dts.
