ITlUraC o DUllClllUg Striking New Carrot especially 
developed for shipping, with its ideal tops for tying and sym¬ 
metrical roots, but it is equally desirable as a home garden 
variety. It is a cylindrical, half-long Carrot, of ideal size and 
shape for bunching. Color is a fine deep orange throughout, cores 
small and indistinct. Tops are short, rather bushy and strong 
but not coarse at the neck. Quality fine, flesh tender and sweet. 
Roots 7 to 8 in. long, slightly tapering with sloping shoulders. In 
fact this is almost identical with Imperator together with a 
heavier, more bushy top. It has the quality of short-rooted varie¬ 
ties but with the desirable length to compete in the market with 
California Danvers grown under irrigation. Packet, 10c; Oz. 15c; 
% Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25, Postpaid. 
One of the most popular 
carrots. Half long, stump

early. Grown principally for bunching, but can also be used for 
a bushel carrot. Packet, 5c; Oz. 15c; % Lb. 35c; Lb. 90c, Postpaid.

1 Ounce of Seed will Produce 5,000 Plants 
CULTURE: For early summer, sow seeds of self-blanching 
varieties in flats under glass during February. Later stick out 
into other flats in the open. In April and May set the plants out 
in a very rich and well prepared land in rows 3 to 4 feet apart 
and 6 inches apart in the rows. Give good cultivation. For late 
and winter celery, sow the seed of standard varieties either in 
flats or directly in the open ground. If sowing in the open, make 
the rows for plants one foot apart and sow the seed shallow. 
Then transplant into rows four feet apart. Blanch by gradually 
banking the soil to within a few inches of the top of the leaves. 
Golden Yellow Self-Blanching SceSrySr 
early use. Plants yellowish green in color, but as they mature 
the inner stems and leaves turn golden yellow. Therefore, the 
blanching does not take much time or extra labor as in the other 
varieties of celery. It is, when matured, of fine color, very 
tender, and of fine flavor. Packet, 10c; % Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; %
