Surprise the Family ivith Unfamiliar Ve^etables 
CARROT 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of row; 
2 or 3 pounds to an acre 
Culture. Good crops may be obtained | 
from ordinary garden soil. I'or early use, 
seed may be sown in hotbeds from January 
until March, and in the open ground as soon 
as the weather becomes warm and settled, 
usually in April. Sow seed *4 inch deep, in 
rows 1 5 inches apart, and later thin to 5 inches 
apart in the row. Sow from July 1 to 15 for 
winter crops. 65 days. 
California Bunching. Tops small; roots 
bright orange, 8 inches long, and almost 
cylindrical. 
Chantenay. Regular stock. ! 
Danvers or Half-Long Orange. Owing to 
its enormous yield, this is one of the most 
profitable for main crop. It is somewhat 
longer than Chantenay. 
M.-S. PERFECTION CHANTENAY. An ' 
exceptionally valuable variety for market 
gardeners. The color is appealing, rich 
deep solid orange throughout. Roots are 
7 to 8 inches long, tapering slightly. Tops 
just long enough to bunch well. It is very 
prolific, brittle, tender, sweet and delicate 
in flavor. 
M.-S. SOUTHERN PRIDE. An ideal me¬ 
dium-early stump-rooted Carrot, smooth 
and uniform in shape, averaging 5 inches 
in length, with tlrick, heavy shoulders, 
rather large tops and deep orange color, 
almost coreless and of fine flavor. Posi¬ 
tively the best Carrot for home-garden or 
market. Advisable for truckers. 
Oxheart or Guerande. A short, thick Car¬ 
rot not exceeding 4 inches in length, and 
about the same in width which does quite 
well on hard, heavy soils where the longer 
varieties are useless. 
Pride of Market Carrot. Regular stock. 
Red-cored Chantenay. A little more 
stump-rooted than its famous parent, 
Chantenay. The delicately flavored flesh is 
deep orange-red and the core is practically 
the same color. Tops not too long, making 
it a desirable bunching Carrot.

One ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants 
Culture. Sow the last of March or early 
in April, in an open border, in rich, mellow 
ground, in shallow drills, watering freely in 
dry weather. By rolling or pressing in the 
seed the result will be more satisfactory than 
when covered. Cut the tops off once or twice 
before planting out, to make them stocky. 
When the plants are 5 to 6 inches high, trans¬ 
plant 6 inches apart in the rows. Blanch by 
earthing up. 125 days. 
Easy Blanching. For early use. As self¬ 
blanching as White Plume, and simply 
needs a slight earthing up. 
Giant Pascal. Regular stock. 
Golden Detroit. A grand self-blanching 
variety. 
Golden Heart. A showy sort. Solid, of fine 
flavor, and a good keeper. 
Golden Plume. Has a beautiful golden 
color, is crisp, free from strings and has a 
rich nutty flavor. 
Golden Self-blanching. American strain. 
Golden Self-blanching, French. (True 
Strain.) Crisp, delicious, nutty flavor, and 
absence of strings make our Golden Self¬ 
blanching a real delicacy. The stalks are 
broad, thick and heavy, and easily blanch 
to a rich, appetizing golden yellow. One 
of the easiest Celeries to grow, for it 
blanches with much less earthing up than 
most sorts. 
M.-S. MAGNIFICENT. It is well named 
for its many good qualities. The stalks, 
which blanch almost white, are exceed¬ 
ingly brittle. A truly good sort. 
M.-S. MONARCH. A decided acquisition 
in green Celery, producing large stalks and 
magnificent bright golden yellow heart. 
The stalks are very solid, brittle and of 
most delicious flavor and entirely free from 
stringiness. A remarkably good keeper and 
presents a handsome appearance when 
ready for the table. 
White Plume. Unsurpassed for fall and 
early winter use, requiring very little earth- 
ing-up to blanch it. 
Winter Queen. Thick, solid, heavy stalk 
and a large heart. It is a close, compact 
grower, and when blanched is a creamy 
white color. 
Flavoring Celery. For culinary purposes.

M.-S. EUREKA. This is unquestionably 
the largest and best Celeriac ever intro¬ 
duced. Very large, almost globe shaped, 
smooth, with only a few roots at the bot¬ 
tom. Flavor is excellent.
