“CORELESS” CHANTENAY. (Red Cored Chantenay). Growers 
have been looking for a coreless Carrot of the Chantenay type. Here 
it is at last. Instead of the light-colored core which has always shown 
in the Chantenay and Danvers, this new strain has the deep orange- 
red color through to the center. The Carrots are the same size as 
Chantenay and will yield just as abundantly. The strain we offer is 
very smooth and uniform in shape. We urge every grower, large or 
small, to grow our “Coreless” Chantenay Carrot. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
^ lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
NANTES. (Select Strain). One of the best early sorts. The roots are 7 
to 8 inches long, 1 to 1% inches thick, the same size the entire length, 
stump-rooted. The color is deep orange, which extends through the 
whole root without a light colored core. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 35c; 
lb., $1.25. 
CHANTENAY SPECIAL. An excellent stump-rooted type, with fine 
orange color and medium size tops; has small neck. This stock is 
very uniform, averaging from 2 to 4 inches thick at the shoulder and 
6 to 7 inches in length. The flesh is fine grained, smooth, crisp, and 
tender. The color will run practically the same throughout. Has 
eliminated a certain amount of the core. Holmes Special strain grows 
an inch longer than the usual Chantenay. An ideal sort for bunching. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 15c; A lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
DANVERS HALF LONG SPECIAL. It will average 7 to 8 inches 
in length, with not quite so blunt a point as Chantenay. Has rich 
orange-colored skin. We have also developed this stock to run a fine 
orange color throughout. Where you want a high quality Danvers, 
we believe that our Special strain will satisfy you. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
V4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
CORELESS. A very popular early sort. The true type is about 6V6 to 
7 inches long and 1 to 1V 2 inches thick, very stump-rooted with small 
rat tail. Color rich deep orange. Skin smooth, tops small. Fine 
grained and very tender. It is noted for its high table quality which 
is unsurpassed. Fkt , 10c; oz., 15c; V4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
PERFECTION. A better and longer Coreless Carrot. An ideal Carrot 
for the fall crop, both for market and home use. It is of the same 
type as Nantes in shape, but nearly two inches longer, stronger tops, 
blunt end, very smooth and has tender flesh of deep orange color with 
practically no core. Excellent quality, roots being crisp and sweet. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
TENDEBSWEET. Its richness and sweet flavor cannot be found in other 
sorts. Its color is deep orange. It is practically coreless, and its

HOLMES’ SNOWBALL. After exhaustive tests, Holmes’ Snowball 
has proven to be thoroughly established and we believe it would pay 
you to give it a trial, not only because we know it to be a fine sort, 
but because we know what crops have been produced from it. Our 
opinion is based upon many years’ experience and from results ob¬ 
tained by gardeners in the Cauliflower producing sections. Holmes’ 
Snowball is for outdoor culture on account of its earliness, vigorous 
growth, handsome appearance, and high quality. We advise you not 
to delay in placing your order. Fkt., 20c; V4 oz., 60c; oz., $1.90; *4 lb., 
$6.50; lb., $23.00. 
SNOWDRIFT. An improved strain developed and bred for critical 
Market Gardener trade. Since it was brought out in 1929, it has 
conquered the market by leaps and bounds. Snowdrift will mature 
with great evenness, and is a somewhat more vigorous type of the 
Snowball class and selected to produce a larger head without losing 
materially in earliness. The pure white heads are outstanding for 
their great depth and wonderful white color. The foliage is large 
and the inner leaves perfectly protect the head until nearly full grown. 
We recommend every cauliflower grower to try this new strain as 
we are fully confident that it will prove a valuable variety. Fkt., 20c; 
V4 oz., 60c; oz., $1.90; % lb., $6.75; lb., $24.00. 
DBY WEATHER or DANISH GIANT. A second-early sort adapted for 
growing in the open ground in localities which are subject to long, 
dry seasons. The heads are of medium to large size, pure white, ana 
of fine quality. Fkt., 20c; l A oz., 60c; oz., $1.90; V4 $6.50; lb., $23.00.
