Read What They Say—

years, but I never had any that were as tender and

September 30. 
My entire crop of Condon’s Select Danvers Car¬ 
rots averaged over '700 bushels per acre this year 
and every one a marketable size. That’s going 
some, don’t you think? Book me for 65 pounds 
more of this same high quality seed for next year. 
JOHN LARSON. 
Danvers carrots have been the standard for over 
fifty years and we need not try to offer any proofs 
as to their popularity. Carrot-breeding is in about 
the same class as stock-breeding, and if same is 
not kept true, will deteriorate very quickly. We ; 
have endeavored to do more than keep the old 
parent sort true, and have actually bred up the qual¬ 
ity of Danvers Carrot to such perfection that the 
old parent sort would be ashamed of itself. To dis¬ 
tinguish our sort from others, we have termed our 
strain Condon’s Select Danvers. Same has been bred 
for quality and for yield and on a given acreage it 
will produce a larger crop of marketable roots than 
any other kind. The roots are of a rich orange color, 
to all classes of soil. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.;
