new type of Carrot: The roots are

smooth, free from hair roots and 
wrinkles. The shoulders are well 
stumped and are excellent for bunch¬

new Carrot meets the requirements of the home 
garden and market gardener. Tops are shorter 
than the regular Chantenay and considerably 
earlier, making bunching easy. The outstand¬ 
ing features are the smoothness of the roots, 
the excellent color, both exterior and interior; 
the tenderness of the core and the uniform and 
perfect stumping. Excellent for slicing, dicing 
in soups and salads. Roots tested for sugar aver¬ 
age 10 per cent sweeter than any other Carrot.

CAULIFLOWER 
(One ounce for 3,000 plants) 
(44-oz., to 100 feet of drill—4 ozs. to the acre) 
Culture—Cauliflower is a gross feeder, and well 
repays heavy manuring and high culture. It suc¬ 
ceeds best on well drained soil. For Spring crop, 
plant the seed in protected beds early in February 
and the plantfe will be ready to transplant prob¬ 
ably early in April. Plant in rows two feet apart 
and eighteen inches in the row. 
Early Snowball —Is the best all-around Cauliflower 
on the market for early or late use, for the fam¬ 
ily or the market garden. It heads where others 
fail. Its close and compact habit of growth per¬ 
mits one-third more to be planted on the same 
space of ground than can be done with other 
varieties. 90 days. Pkt., 15c; 44-oz., 75c; 44-oz., 
$1.10; oz., $2.00; 44-lb., $7.50.

Extra Early Snowball or Danish Perfection—This 
new strain possesses all the good qualities of 
the best Early Snowball strains and has shown 
an unusual uniformity in maturing. The leaves 
closely enfolding the head give it a particularly 
attractive appearance, and as the inner leaves 
almost cover the snow-white flower the neces¬ 
sary early tying up as in the case of other early 
sorts is largely avoided. It is the earliest strain 
of its type. 80 days. Pkt., 15c; 44-oz., $1.00; 44- 
oz., $1.50; oz., $2.50; 44-lb., $8.00. 
CARROTS FOR STOCK 
THE TWO BEST VARIETIES 
Victoria —No yellow Carrot can approach the Vic¬ 
toria in size, in yield and in feeding qualities. 
It is the largest orange or yellow Carrot known. 
The roots are remarkably fine and of excellent 
quality, possessing high feeding properties; is a 
heavy cropper on all soils and grows nearly half 
again as much weight an acre as the ordinary 
varieties. The roots grow more above ground 
and it is easy to gather. 90 days. Oz., 10c; 44- 
lb., 30c; 1 lb., 85c; 2 lbs., $1.50; 5 lbs., $3.25; 10 
lbs., $6.00. 
Mastodon—It is the heaviest Carrot grown, yield¬ 
ing more tons to the acre than any other sort. 
The flesh is white, crisp and very sweet. It Is 
a vast improvement on the white and green Bel¬ 
gian sorts and is much more productive. The 
roots are short and very heavy at the shoulder, 
rendering them easily harvested. Too much can 
scarcely be said of their size and great produc¬ 
tiveness. The roots frequently measure 15 to 20 
inches in circumference, and yield 20 to 30 tons 
to the acre. 90 days. Oz., 10c; 44-lb., 30c; 1 lb..
