CARROT—DANVERS HALF LONG 
Celery 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING DWARF. The 
hest 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; 
oz., 50c; Y% ib., $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. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c:; 1% lb., 25c; lb., 75c.

Carrots 
Carrots grow best in rich, deep, sandy loam, 
well pulverized and deeply cultivated. Sow 
in drills 5 to 18 inches apart and about ¥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 acte. 
DANVERS HALF LONG. Grown largely on 
account of its great productiveness and adapt- 
ability to all classes of soil. A broad shoul- 
dezed, 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 tender 
and of a deep orange color. Our market 
gardeners and truckers will have nothing else; 
70 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15e; 1% lb., 50c. 
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; 1% lb., 50c.
