Carrots 
Carrots grow best in rich, deep, sandy loam, 
well pulverized and deeply cullivated. Sow 
in drills 5 to 18 inches apart and about V 2 
inch deep, thinning out the seedlings to 4 
inches in the row. One ounce will sow 100 
feet of drill, 3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
DANVERS HALF LONG. Grown largely on 
account of its great productiveness and adapt¬ 
ability to all classes of soil. A broad shoul¬ 
dered, cylindrical, dark orange variety. Tops 
of medium size. Roots of medium length, 6 to 
8 inches long. The smooth and handsome 
roots are deep orange, tapering uniformly to 
a blunt point, flesh sweet, crisp and vender 
and of a deep orange color. Our market 
gardeners and truckers will have nothing else; 
70 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 1/4 lb., 30c. 
CHANTENAY. Tops medium-sized; necks 
small; roots tapering slightly but uniformly 
stump-rooted and smooth; color deep orange- 
red; flesh very crisp and tender. Although 
this is a medium early sort, it furnishes roots 
of usable size as early as any; is a heavy 
cropper and undoubtedly one of the very best 
for both market and home garden, while its 
great productiveness makes it very desirable 
as a field sort. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; V 4 lb., 30c.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING DWARF. The 
best market variety, especially for early sum¬ 
mer. The plant is naturally golden yellow 
(both stem and leaves), but needs to be 
blanched to make it brittle and fit for table 
use. Forms a rather small bunch. Pkt., 5c; 
cz., 50c; 1/4 lb., $1.25. 
Collards 
GEORGIA or SOUTHERN. A variety of Cab¬ 
bage that does not form a head, but pro¬ 
duces a mass of leaves. Very hardy and con¬ 
tinuous grower. Freezing does not injure, but 
rather improves its quality. Sow thick in 
drills, in rather rich ground, transplanting 
when about 4 inches high, or sow in drills 
where the plants are to remain, and thin out 
to 2 or 3 feet apart in the row when of 
proper size. In this latitude it can be sown 
from January to May, and August to October.

CULTURE. Sow in rows 2 to 3 feet apart 
and from 8 to 10 inches in row. Soil should 
be rich, deep and moist, and intensive culture

soil and exposure should be chosen for early 
crops.
