nary garden soil. For early use seed may 
be sown in hotbeds from January until 
March, and in the open ground as soon 
as the weather becomes warm and set¬ 
tled, usually in April. Sow seed J inch 
deep in rows 15 inches apart, and later 
thin to 5 inches in the row. Keep soil 
between the rows well hoed and free 
from weeds. From July 1 to 15 sow for 
winter crops.

somewhat earlier than Long Orange Improved, and of much better

eter at the top, gradually tapering to a point. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15

Danvers Half-Long. (Stump-rooted.) Owing to its enormous yield this variety is

cattle. It is somewhat longer, thicker and a better keeper than the Chantenay, 
and can be depended upon to give entire satisfaction. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts.,

very productive. At the top the roots are about 3 inches in diameter and often

soil is best suited for their culture. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Jib. 40
