Carrots, Danvers Improved Half Long 
CARROTS 
Carrots thrive best in a rather light rich 
loam. The ground should be well manured 
with fine, well-rotted or composted manure, 
and be thoroughly worked quite deep. Sow 
from middle of April to middle of May, H 
inch deep, in rows 14 inches apart, and thin 
the plants to stand 5 to 6 inches apart in the 
row. For late crops, sow in June or July. An 
important point is to tread the rows firmly 
after sowing. For field-culture, Carrots should 
be sown in drills 3 to feet apart, so as to 
allow horse-cultivation. 
The price of Carrots unless otherwise 
noted: pkts. 5 and 10c., oz. 15c., J4 lb. 
35c., lb. $1.25. 
Danvers Improved Half Long. A favorite 
sort, slightly longer than Chantenay, taper¬ 
ing to a blunt end. 
Guerande, or Oxheart. Stump-rooted, es¬ 
pecially adapted to shallow soil. 
Half-long Scarlet Nantes (Stump rooted). 
Intermediate, about 7 in. long, 1in. thick. 
Imperator. A little longer than Danvers, 
but having the high table quality of the 
short rooted varieties. Color, deep solid 
orange all through. 
Morse’s New Bunching. (72 days.) Gold 
Medal. Cylindrical, half-long carrot, of 
ideal size and shape for bunching. Color is 
a fine deep orange throughout with a small, 
indistinct core. Tops are short, rather bushy 
and strong but not coarse at the neck. 
Quality is fine and flesh is tender and sweet. 
This was developed as a bunching carrot 
for market and long distance shipping and 
makes a splendid appearance. It is equally 
as desirable in the home garden, just the 
right size and shape that appeals. Pkts. 5 
and 10c., oz. 15c., lb- 40c., lb. $1.25. 
Red Colored Chantenay. The color is a rich 
orange, decidedly deeper than the ordinary 
Chantenay. The cores are small. The roots 
grow about 5J^ to 6 in. long and 2 to 2J4 in- 
in diameter, having a very small rat tail, 
and run very uniform in size and appearance. 
Touchon Carrot. Same general type as 
Nantes. Does, however, produce slightly 
longer and more slender roots than Nantes. 
It also has somewhat larger and stronger 
tops. 
White Belgian. Flesh white and coarse. De¬ 
sirable for stock feeding. 
CELERY

Sow seed early in April, in an open border, 
in good, rich soil, in drills 8 inches apart. 
Early in July transplant to trenches 3 feet 
apart and 6 inches apart in the rows. The 
beds should be kept well weeded and an occa¬ 
sional soaking with water in dry weather will 
do the plants good. 
Emperor or Fordhook. (130 days.) A fine 
keeping Celery for Fall and Winter use. Of 
compact growth averaging 18 in. in height, 
with unusually thick white stalks and a pale 
yellow heart. Very crisp and brittle, never

Golden Plume or Wonderful. This variety 
of celery resembles Golden Self Blanching 
but is much larger and ranker in growth,

is of the finest table quality. Pkts. 5 and 
10c., oz. 80c., 2 ozs. $1.50, M lb. $2.75.

tremely thick and smooth and compara¬ 
tively free of fibre. Slightly later than
