Mohre. Carotte. Zanaboria. 
The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy 
loam, richly tilled. For early crops sow in spring as 
800 n as the ground is in good working 
order ; for later crops they may be sown 
any time until the middle of June. Sow 
in rows about 15 inches apart, thinning 
out to three or four inches between 
the plants. In field culture, when 
grown for horses or 
cattle, the rows should be two feet apart, so that the crop can be worked by the Horse 
Cultivator. As carrot seed is slow to germinate, all precautions must be taken.

HALF LONG RED. (Stump-rooted.) In size and time of maturity 
it is between the Early Scarlet Horn and the Long Orange. This 
is the sort so common in the markets of New York and vici 
It attains only a medium size, but is admirably adapted to bu 
ing, and in pri rate gardens is one of the best varieties to grow for 
use during the summer.

HENDERSON'S INTERMEDIATE. This is certainly the best 
main crop Carrot. Our cut is no flattering representation, but 
shows it as wo have seen it in enormous quantities, and wo 
strongly a lvlse our customers to plant it. It is one of the most 
uniform in shape that we know, and where the soil is favorable 
it will always grow clean and free from side roots. The core is 
small and very tender, and there is no indication of woody 
character at any stage of its growth. It is also entirely free 
from any coarse, rank flavor so common with many sorts. For 
private purposes it is ideal, and its yielding capacity is enormous, 
which, with its handsome color and fine appearance, makes it 
invaluable to truckers. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. V, lb.,

DANVERS. (Half Long.) A handsome, cylindrical-shaped Carrot 
of good size and stump-rooted. It is of a rich, dark orange color, 
grows to a large size, is smooth, and the flesh very close in 
texture, with little core. It is a first-class carrot for all soils, and 
it is claimed that under good cultivation it will yield the greatest 
weight per acre with the smallest length of root of any now 
grown. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. % lb., 90c. lb. 
LONG ORANGE IMPROVED. One of the most desirable for 
either garden or field culture. It grows to a large size, fail- 
specimens averaging twelve inches in length, and three inches 
diameter at the top. All who have cattle should raise a surplus 
of this carrot forfeeding milch cows during winter. It increases 
the flow of milk and imparts to the butter a delicious flavor and a 
rich golden color. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 80c. lb. 
CHANTENAY HALF LONG SCARLET. A stump-rooted 
variety, somewhat resembling the well-known Nantes Carrot, 
but having a larger shoulder and being much more productive. 
5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 90c. lb. 
OXHEART, OR GUERANDE. A French variety of recent intro¬ 
duction and a decided acquisition. It is intermediate between 
Half Long and Horn varieties and perfectly distinct. The 
shape is nearly oval and the color and quality all that can be 
desired. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., $1.00 lb. 
EARLY FRENCH FORCING. The earliest variety and one 
largely grown for forcing purposes. It makes a small, almost 
globe shaped root of an orange-red color. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 
15c. oz., 40c. 34 lb., $1.25 lb. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN. Favorite for early crop, but not 
large. Sold largely in New York markets bundled. It matures 
eight to ten days earlier than the Long Orange, and is some¬ 
times used for forcing. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 
90c. lb. 
EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET CARENTAN. The skin 
is smooth, flesh red, and without any core or heart. It is ex¬ 
cellent for forcing, and for fine quality and perfect shape can 
hardly be surpassed. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 90c. lb. 
EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET. (Pointed-rooted.) A 
medium early sort of great value. It is most useful in the 
younger state, either in soups or cooked whole, and is much 
used for bunching. The tops are very small, which permits close 
planting. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 90c. lb. 
LARGE WHITE BELGIAN. The lower part of the root is 
white, that growing above ground and exposed to the air being 
green. A very heavy cropper and should be largely grown for 
feeding to stock. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. 34 lb., 60c. lb. 
YELLOW BELGIAN. Similar to the White Belgian in every 
respect except in color. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. 34 lb., 60c. lb.
