CARROTS 
CULTURE—A sandy loam is the best for the Carrot, but any good land, if thor¬ 
oughly and deeply worked, will produce satisfactory crops. Sow as early in the Spring 
as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may be grown from sowing as late as 
June 15. For table use, sow the smaller kinds in rows 16 to 18 inches apart, and for 
fiield culture prepare the ground thoroughly and sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Cover one-half to 1 inch deep and see to it that the soil is well firmed above the seed.

IMPROVED DANVERS HALF LONG 
Our strain of this popular Carrot has a root which comes 
to a blunt point, a very beautiful Carrot. A first-class Car¬ 
rot for all soils. The root is of a rich, dark orange color; 
it is very smooth and heavy yielding, 20 to 30 tons per 
acre not being an unusual crop. Prices for large or small 
lots. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; x /\ lb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.00. 
OXHEART 
A thick Carrot, 5 or 6 inches long, and very blunt at the lowest extremity. It grows 
very rapidly and the root attains a weight of more than a pound. It is tender and of 
good flavor. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; x / 4 lb. 35c; 1 lb. 90c. 
VICTORIA CARROT—For Stock 
The Victoria is a very large and a very rich stock Carrot. We can say that there is 
no yellow Carrot that can approach the Victoria in size, yield and in feeding qualities. 
It grows nearly as much weight again per acre as the ordinary varieties and, as the 
roots grow more above the ground, it is much easier to gather the crop. Postpaid, pkt 
5c; oz. 10c; x /\ lb. 30c; 1 lb. 80c. 
MASTODON CARROT 
The heaviest cropping Carrot grown, yielding more tons to the acre than any other 
sort. The flesh is white, crisp and solid and very sweet in flavor. It is a vast improve¬ 
ment on the white and green Belgian sorts which have been favorities in the past, as it 
is not only much more productive, but vastly easier to handle. The roots are short and 
very heavy at the shoulder, rendering them easily harvested. Too much can scarcely 
be said for their size and great productiveness. The roots frequently measure 15 to 20 
inches in circumference, and 18 to 40 tons to the acre is not an extravagant statement 
as to yield. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; x / 4 lb. 30c; 1 lb. 80c. Write for quantity prices. 
CHICKORY 
Large rooted. Used as a substitute for coffee; and the young blanched shoots for 
salad. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c. 
CELERY 
CULTURE—Sow the seeds early, about February, in a hot-bed or cold frame. When 
3 inches high transplant, setting them about 4 inches apart. When grown 6 inches and 
fine stock plants, set in richly manured deep soil, in rows SV 2 feet apart and about 9 
inches from plant to plant. Blanch by placing board along the rows, or earth up a
