Carrots area succulent and 
nutritious food for all kinds 
of stock in Winter, and all 
farmers should plant a few 
for this purpose. Cows ted 
on Carrots alternately with 
Rutabagas and Mangels give 
an increased yield of milk. 
For an early crop sow late in 
March; for a late crop sow in 
June and July. The large, 
late varieties are suitable for 
a main crop. Sow in May 
and June, in drills ten inches 
apart. Thin out to stand 
four inches in the rows. The most suitable ground is a sandy loam, which has been 
well manured and deeply tilled for previous crops. One ounce will sow about one 
hundred and twenty-five feet of drill, and four pounds will sow an acre. 
In comparing our pr*ces, please remember that we send the Seeds postpaid, 
by mall. If ordered by express or freight, at purchaser’s expense, 15 cents 
per pound may be deducted from prices quoted.

is the earliest Carrot in cultivation. The 
roots are as round as a Turnip, of small 
size, very rich fiavor, excellent and melt-., 
iug. Early Carrots pay lor market, and 
are useful in the home garden. Its fine

pound, 30 cents; pound .$1.00.

can be had of this variety as of the “ Long 
Orange,” and with the advantage of less 
labor in harvesting. Per packet, 5 cents;

ary Long Orange. The roots grow remarkably uniform and smooth, being al¬ 
ways well formed, and of larger size, better flavor, and deeper orange color. 
Per packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; one-fourth pound, 25 cents; pound, 90 cts. 
Long Bed Coreless. —I wish every one of our customers would try this splendid 
new variety, as it is sure to please. It is a beautiful variety, growing twelve to 
sixteen inches long and two to three inches in diameter, stump rooted, of perfect 
form, very rich color and excellent quality, being entirely free from any hard 
core. For private table use and lor market, this is one of the best long Carrots 
in cultivation. Per packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; one-fourth pound, 30 
cents; per pound.$1.00. 
Long Orange.—The old standby, both for table use and stock feeding, for late Sum¬ 
mer and Winter use. Fed to milch cows, it increases the flow of rich milk, and 
imparts to the butter in Winter a fresh flavor and golden color. Do not neglect 
raising a surplus tor feeding the stock. Per packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 
one-fourth pound, 25 cents; pound.75 cents. 
Large Yellow Belgian.—Per packet, 5 cents; ounce 10 cents; one-fourth pound, 25 
cents; per pound.75 cents. 
Large White Belgian.—Per packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; bne-lourth pound, 20 
cents; per pound.65 cents. 
The last two varieties differ principally in color. Both are enormously productive, 
yielding very heavy crops, especially on deep, sandy soil. They grow to a very large 
size, smooth and cylindrical (tapering) in shape. Excellent sorts to grow for stock 
feeding.

Corn requires a good warm situation. Commence, for first early, by planting the 
early varieties about May 1, and if a continuous supply is wanted all Summer, make 
the plantings about two weeks apart, from May 1 until the last of July, first planting 
early varieties, then later ones. Plant in rows about three feet apart, and make the 
hills about the same distance apart in the rows. Five kernels in the hill are plenty. 
Cover about one inch deep for early, and a little deeper for late. Thin to three plants 
in a hill. 
One quart will plant two hundred hills. One peck will plant one acre In hills. 
Three bushels will sow one acre broadcast for soiling, or half that quantity in 
drills.

dently a cross of the Adams and Narragansett, and while the quality is only fair,
