Carrot 
Native of Europe. Three ounces of seed will sow 100 yards of row; 4 Ibs. for an acre. For domestic 
use sow when the Apple is in bloom or as soomas the ground is workable. Drill in rows of fifteen inches for 
hand culture, two and a half feet for field culture, when two inches high thin to two or three inches apart. 
Carrots for the table should be used when young.

Tops medium size, large 
enough for bunching. Length 

Chantenay Red Cored 
of shoulder 2 inches. Rich orange flesh, fine for the 
market gardener, as its narrow or sloping shoulder, 
tapering half blunt end makes it especially fine for 
bunching. 
Long Orange or St. Vallery—80 Days. This ex- 
tremely productive carrot frequently grows 10 to 
12 inches long, sometimes longer, and produces a 
root of deep orange color, of about 3 inches diameter 
at the top of crown, tapering to a slight point. This 
is a variety used for both table feeding and stock 
feeding. 
Orange Danvers Half Long or Rubicon—75 
Days. This is probably the best known variety of 
Carrot, as for years Market Gardeners have used 
more seed of this variety than all others combined. 
It is a broad shouldered cylindrical variety, 7 inches 
long, 23 inches at the crown and gradually tapers to 
a blunt type. Color bright orange. Tender and is 
of excellent quality. 
Ox-Heart or Guerande—70 Days. A thick biunt 
variety, 3 to 4 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. 
When full size grows to a diameter of a pint measure 
but should be eaten when one inch in diameter. 
Bright orange. An excellent variety. 
Cauliflower 
One-half ounce of seed will sow 100 yards of row. Moisture or high altitude tends toward success. 
The earliest varieties are most likely to succeed in the hands of inexperienced growers. 
There is little 
difficulty in having fine Cauliflowers anywhere when planted in frames under glass, at close of Winter, so 
as to advance them ahead of the early Summer heat. The late varieties mature in Autumn, and are sown 
at the same time and managed similarly to Cabbage. 
They do best in localities where the atmosphere is 
damp and saline, as on the Atlantic or Pacific coast or in regions of high altitude as the Catskill Mountains 
in New York State, where they are grown to perfection. Cauliflower can only be grown on rich, well-tilled, 
well-watered soil, and it can hardly be overfed. Our seed is of the highest quality. 
Early Snowball; Select Strain—95 Days. An 
extra early sort, early as any under whatever name. 
Plants short and stocky, erect, pointed leaves, pro- 
ducing round heads, pure white; extremely early and 
perfectly solid. Autumn crops are earlier than 
Spring crops. A variety of widest celebrity, by 
reason of its reliable qualities of productiveness, 
Collards 
One ounce of seed for 100 yards of row. A loose- 
leaved plant of the Cabbage family 
Georgia Southern or Creole—80 Days. Cabbage 
greens. The leaves can be blanched white as Celery, 
made tender by enveloping each plant from the top 
downward with a large paper or muslin bag during 
late growth. Stems long, 2 to 3 ft., white or golden. 
Grown in sections where Cabbages do not thrive. 
Cabbage Collards—90 Days. A cross between a 
Cabbage and a Collard. Of Georgia origin. 
12 
color, flavor and keeping qualities. Leaves long 
and narrow. No strain superior to that which 
Landreth offers. The most popular variety. 
Early Snowball—9%6 Days. A fine select strain of 
this well-known Cauliflower, producing excellent 
heads. 
Chicory or Succort 
Sometimes called French Endive. Plant four 
ounces for 100 yards of row 
Large Rooted or Coffee—100 Days. This variety 
should not be confused with the Witloof, which is 
used as a salad, for this is little used as such. Roots 
‘when dry are used as a substitute for coffee. 
Witloof or Brussels Chicory—110 Days. The 
leaf resembles a head of Cos Lettuce, large, thick, 
stems tightly folded against each other, the heart 
bleached like Celery.
