RUBICON HALF-LONQ ORANGE 
Since our introduction of this valuable and distinct ' 
American carrot a few years ago, it lias rapidly grown in 
popularity, until now it is more largely grown than all other 
varieties of carrot combined. It is the best in shajic, and j 
its deep red orange-colored flesh is the finest in quality of all, 
unless it be the New French Market, described on page 3. j 
The strain was selected and perfected by a well-known mar- j 
ket gardener of Connecticut, under whose care the carrots i 
attained such uniform shape that they are almost exact 
duplicates of each other. It is earlier than Danvers, about 
the same length, but heavier and thicker at the shoul- ! 
dere, making it more productive: the leaves arc also shorter, : 
fewer and finer. It is a wonderfully heavy cropper, producing 
thirty to forty tons to the acre under good field culture. Jt j 
grows without neck, the crown is hollow, and it grows well 
under the ground, which prevents it from becoming sun- J 
burnt. Pkt. 5c; oz., 10c.; % lb., 30c.; lb., 81.00, postpaid; ; 
2 lbs., $1.70; 5 lbs. and over, 80c. per lb., by express or freight.

Fiehots 5 Iiong Orange Cavvot 
We procured this stock some years since from Mr. 
Robert Nichols, one of the most successful market gardeners 
of this city. The strain is much earlier than the Long 
Orange as usually sold. The color is of a deep golden 
orange when young, shading to a deep orange red when 
fully grown. The root is perfectly smooth, grows without 
any neck; the top is short, and this together with its ex¬ 
treme earliness, admirably fits it for early use It is also 
one of the best varieties for growing outside, on account of 
its great productiveness and adaptability to all kinds of soil. 
We are headquarters for seed of this popular carrot. Pkt., 
5e.; oz., 10c.; *4 lb., 30c.; lb., 90c., postpaid; 5 lbs. and over,
