Carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre of fine Danvers have been grown, and a yield of 25 
to 30 tons per acre is not uncommon. Matures its crop of beautifully shaped roots in 70 days.

New Butter 
The Sweetest Flavored Carrot Ever Grown. Smooth Shape. Sweet Flavor. 
Fine Grain. Uniform Size. Heavy Yielder. Wonderful Keeper. 
New Butter Carrot, we believe, is the best all-around variety that can be 
grown. Whether you want a few for the home, a quantity for local market 
or a large supply for shipping, this is the one you have been looking for. It is 
the first carrot of any size ready for use, 65 days being about the average 
time from planting to harvesting. They are of ideal size, 5 to 6 inches long, 
stump rooted and broad shouldered. The flesh is of the finest quality and 
of a beautiful rich orange brown color. When bunched for the market they 
will sell readily as nothing will compare with them in uniform shape, size, 
color and general excellent appearance. In quality, New Butter Carrot sur¬ 
passes all others. Rich, buttery, spicy flavor, crisp and sweet, absolutely no 
stringiness, and tender to the very center, as there is no hard core. Adapted 
to all soils and climates and makes a good crop when others fail. Plant New 
Butter this year if you want the best carrot you have ever eaten. Send to us 
for choicest stock seed of our own growing; especially selected for disease 
resistant qualities. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; Vi lb. 60c; Vi lb. $1.00; lb. 
$1.75; 2 lbs. $3.25, postpaid. 
The Best Stock Carrots 
Every farmer should plant a few acres of Carrots for stock food: they are 
very productive, less liable to disease than many other root crops, and being 
sown earlier do not interfere so much with the labor in the busy time. They 
can be stored over Winter like Potatoes. Make excellent nutritive feed for 
all stock. Horses are very fond of them and they increase the flow of milk 
in cow’s, ifnprove the quality of butter and give it a beautiful golden color.

acre than any other sort. The flesh is white, crisp, solid and very sweet in 
flavor. The roots are of medium size, very broad and heavy at the shoulder
