CARROTS 
The French people, who know a thing or two about eating, value this crop according to 
its true merits. For a stew, for that extra touch in a soup, or served as a vegetable 
while still tender and of delicate flavor. Carrots just demand a place in the garden.

BRECK’S MARKET 
GARDEN DANVERS, 
HALF-LONG. A special 
stock obtained after 
many years’ work in se¬ 
lecting and growing the 
most desirable strain of 
stump-rooted, deep 
orange Half-Long type. 
Our market-garden trade 
throughout New Eng¬ 
land has found this type 
of Carrot a most profit¬ 
able sort. One of the most 
desirable for the home 
gardener. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
35c; MIb. $1.00; lb. $3.00. 
BRECK’S HUTCHINSON. Considered 
the best strain of Carrot by local market 
gardeners. A selection of the well- 
known Danvers, and commands a 
higher price on the Boston market. For 
this reason, it is most difficult to secure 
a satisfactory stock of seed for the local 
demand, as growers prefer to market 
their roots and not undertake the risk 
attendant upon producing seed under 
New England conditions. Hutchinson’s 
Strain is from 2 to 3 inches longer than 
Danvers, and holds its “fullness” well 
down to the tip. It is a blunt-pointed 
Carrot always. In color it is slightly 
darker than the Danvers. Yield enor¬ 
mous. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; yib. $1.25.
