AUTUMN KING, OR WORLD-BEATER. 
—This is an extra large and solid-head variety, well 
suited for fall and winter use. It will produce heads 
of enormous size, with an abundance of dark bluish 
green leaves growing clos.e about the large flattened 
heads. The plant is of extra strong growth and re¬ 
quires a longer season than do the earlier and small 
varieties. Seed should be sown in this latitude about 
the first of June, when it will produce fine heads for 
autumn and winter use. Pt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; quarter lb., 
50c. ; lb., $1.50.

CARROTS. 
DENVER’S HALF LONG.— This variety is 
well adapted to all soils and sections, and leads the 
whole list in popularity. It is half long in shape, some¬ 
what stump-rooted, and of rich, dark orange color. This 
variety will probably yield a greater bulk and weight, 
having greater length of root than any other carrot 
now grown ; 40 tons per acre have been grown, and a 
yield of 20 or 25 tons is not uncommon. It is a very 
popular and successful carrot. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c. ; 
quarter lb., 20c.; lb., 60c. 
LONG ORANGE— Big cropper, long, smooth, 
fine-grained, excellent. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; quarter lb., 
20c.; lb., 60c. 
NOTE. —’Yjfhen several pounds of carrot seed are 
wanted, ask for special rates. 
SWEET 
CHANTENAY. —Stump- rooted; color rich or¬ 
ange ; productive; fine quality. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 
quarter lb., 20c.; lb., 60c. 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN —This variety is 
in great demand for feeding stock and is excellent for 
that purpose. It yields an enormous crop, growing 
about one-third out of the ground; roots are white, 
green above the ground, with small top ; flesh rather 
coarse. The roots are very large and yield enor¬ 
mously. Price, pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; quarter lb., 20c.; 
lb., 50c., postpaid.

ing carrot, plant this. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 10c.; quarter lb., 
20c.; lb., 60c. 
CORN. 
Crop short, consequently prices unavoidably much hi gher than last season, but think they will compare 
favorably with any reliable house. 
Country Gentleman 
Corn. 
PREMO .—This is claimed to be the earliest sweet 
corn grown, even earlier than the Extra Early Adams. 
No corn introduced seems ever to have given such gen¬ 
eral satisfaction as this after a few years’ growth. It 
is acknowledged by expert corn growers to be earlier 
th*n any pure sweet corn under cultivation. It not 
only combines all the merits of all leading early varie¬ 
ties, but is also really superior to them all in size and 
yield. Pkt., 10c. ; pt., 30c.; qt., 50c.; postpaid. By 
express or freight, 4 qts., 80c.; pk., $1.50 ; bus., $4.50. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. —Very early, hardy, small, 
but compact, well-filled ears, and the richest, sweetest, 
best sweet corn you ever ate. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 35c.; 
qt., 60c.; postpaid. By express, 4 qts., $1.25; pk., 
$ 2 . 00 . 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN .—An excellent mid¬ 
season to late variety ; very productive of large, well- 
filled ears with long, slender grains crowded together 
in every conceivable shape; quality very fine; my’fa¬ 
vorite for my own table. Try it. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 
30c. ; qt.. 50c.; postpaid. By express or freight, 4 
qts., $1.00; pk., $1.75; half bus., $3.25; bus., $6.00. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN —Except for first 
early, there is perhaps nothing grown on the market 
today that will begin to equal Stowell’s Evergreen. It 
is the best for second early, mid-season or late, and 
planted as of all others combined. Every market gar¬ 
dener and every private gardener in the land knows 
there is perhaps three times as much of this variety 
this grand old sweet corn. It is in high esteem for 
main crop or late use, being in special favor with 
truckers and canners. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 30c.; qt., 50c.; 
postpaid. By express or freight, 4 qts., 80c.; pk., 
$1.40; half bus., $2.50 ; bus., $4.50. 
CELERY. 
I have a very fine stock of a few of the leading va¬ 
rieties of celery seed and will he pleased to have your 
orders. Special price on 5 lbs. or over. 
WHITE PLUME. — This variety is still a leader 
among the early sorts, and the ease with which it can 
be grown will always make it a favorite. It requires 
very little labor in growing, hut is Improved by earth¬ 
ing up. The inner stalks are pure white, crisp and of 
rich flavor. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c. ; quarter lb., 60c.: lb., 
$2.00. 
WINTER QUEEN .—Winter Queen is a close, 
compact dwarf or half dwarf celery, of about the same 
size as Golden Self-Blanching; it has, in fact, many 
traits of that variety, hut a far better keeper. The 
stalks are thick and heavy, with more heart than any 
other variety. The leaves blanch to a beautiful creamy 
white, and are firm and solid. The flavor is sweet, 
nutty and delicious. This is probably the most desir¬ 
able winter celery grown ; will keep well until March. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; quarter lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00.
