WHOLESOME EITHER RAW OR COOKED 
(One ounce to 100 feet of drill—3 to 4 lbs. to the acre) 
Carrots do well in all soils though a good, deep, 
friable loam will produce the best roots. For an 
early supply, sow seed of early sorts as soon as 
the soil can be dug. Make repeated sowings every 
two weeks. For a winter supply, sow the larger 
growing varieties such as Danvers, Long Orange, 
etc. any time during May or June. 
Early French Forcing or Golden Ball —It is an ex¬ 
cellent Carrot for forcing as well as for an early 
supply from the garden. Small roots, 2% inches 
in diameter and 2 y 2 inches long, tender and of 
fine flavor. Rich orange skin and flesh. 50 days. 
Pkt., 5c; or.., 15c; y 2 -lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
Carrot—Oxlieart or Guerande 
Oxheart or Guerande —Medium early, bright orange 
color, fine grained and sweet; one of the best 
table varieties. Can be pulled by hand; well 
suited to heavy soils, but will thrive equally well 
in other situations. 70 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
14 -lb., 30c; 1 lb., 85c. 
Pride of Montana (Bunching Type) —A new type of 
Carrot: The roots are longer and more slender 
than the Danvers and wider towards the tips. 
The color, both exterior and interior, is a fine deep 
red with very small cores. It is a little slower in 
reaching maturity than Danvers, but remains in 
condition for use longer. Roots are six to eight 
inches long, smooth, free from hair roots and 
wrinkles. The shoulders are well stumped and 
are excellent for bunching. Fine for market and 
home use. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 14 -lb., 50c; 1 lb., 
$1.50. / 
Danvers Half Long— A standard variety and one 
of the heaviest croppers. Color dark orange, 
very thick shoulder, of a most excellent quality. 
Length 7 to 7% inches. 75 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
15c; 14 -lb., 35c; 1 lb., OOc. 
Early Cliantenay or Model —A most excellent me¬ 
dium early, half long variety. The tops are me¬ 
dium sized with small neck. The roots are thick, 
six inches in length, uniformly half long or 
stump rooted but tapering slightly; smooth, deep 
orange-red color. The flesh is very crisp and 
tender. Extensively used for bunching. 65 days. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; V 4 -\h., 35c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
Morse’s Bunching— A gold medal winner. A cylin¬ 
drical, half-long Carrot, of ideal size and shape 
for bunching. Color is a fine deep orange 
throughout, cores small and indistinct. Tops are 
short, rather bushy and strong, but not coarse 
at the neck. Quality fine, flesh tender and sweet. 
It was developed as a bunching Carrot for long¬ 
distance shipment, but is equally desirable as a 
home garden variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 14 -lb., 
55c; lb., $1.65. 
S. N. & S. Co’s. New Red Cored Cliantenay —This 
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 outstanding 
features are the smoothness of the roots, the 
excellent color, both exterior and interior, the 
tenderness of the core and the uniform and per¬ 
fect stumping. Excellent for slicing, dicing in 
soups and salads. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 14 -lb., 50c; 
1 lb., $1.50. 
Improved Long Orange —This is a variety of the 
largest size. The roots are uniform in size and 
smooth. Of gradually tapering shape, holding 
their thickness well throughout the length, rich, 
deep orange color. It is a good keeper, of fine 
quality for Winter use. 80 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
15c; 14 -lb., 35c; 1 lb., S5c. 
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 of excellent quality, possessing high 
feeding properties; a heavy cropper on all soils. 
90 days. Oz., 10c; y4-lb., 30c; 1 lb., 85c; 2 lbs., 
$1.50; 5 lbs., $3.25; 10 lbs., $6.00. 
Mastodon —It is the heaviest Carrot grown. The 
flesh is white, crisp and very sweet. Too much 
can scarcely be said of their size and great pro¬ 
ductiveness. The roots frequently yield 20 to 30 
tons to the acre. 90 days. Oz., 10c; %-lb., 30c; 
1 lb., 85c; 2 lbs., $1.50; 5 lbs., $3.25; 10 lbs., $6.00. 
Ger.—Blu men kohl 
CAULIFLOWER 
Scand.—Blomkaal 
(One ounce for 2,000 plants—%-oz., to 100 feet of drill-—6 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 plants will be ready to transplant probably early in April. Plant in rows two feet apart and eigh¬ 
teen inches in the row. 
Harvesting Early Snowball Cauliflower from Our Peerless 
Seed at the Capitol View Gardens, Owned by Joe Fisher 
Peerless Early Snowball —Is the best all¬ 
round Cauliflower on the market for 
early or late use, for the family or the 
market garden. It heads where others 
fail. Its close and compact habit of 
growth permits one-third more to be 
planted on the same space of ground 
than can be done with other varieties. 
90 days. Pkt., 15c; 14 -oz.. 75c; y«-oz., 
$1.10; oz., $2.00; %-lb., $7.50. 
Dry Weather or Danish Giant —Is more 
resistant to unfavorable seasons than 
other sorts, particularly in dry weather. 
100 days. Pkt., 15c; *4-oz„ 55c; y 2 -oz., 
$1.00; oz., $1.75; %-lb., $7.00. 
Extra Early Snowball or Danish Perfec¬ 
tion —This new strain possesses all the 
good qualities of the best Early Snow¬ 
ball 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 necessary early 
tying up as in the case of other early 
sorts is largely avoided. It is the earli¬ 
est strain of its type. 80 days. Pkt., 15c; 
J4-oz., 60c; y 2 -oz., $1.10; oz., $2.00; 14 -lb., 
$7.00.
