All Varieties. 
Burpee’s Goldinhart. 75 days. Special strain 
of Red* Cored Chantenay. Selected for 
uniformity, trueness to type, deep exter‘or 
and interior color, and a small, indistinct 
core. Roots are 5 to 514 inches long and 
24 inches thick at the shoulder, very 
gradually tapering to an abrupt stump end. 
Flesh is fine grained, tender, and of a deli- 
cate, sweet flavor. One of the better varie- 
ties for planting where the soil is heavier 
than is desirable for root crops, but at the 
same time will grow other vegetables. Popu- 
lar with canners, commercial growers, and 
home gardeners because of heavy yield, 
all-‘round excellence and the bright golden 
orange flesh clear to the center. Skin is an 
atirictive orange-scarlet. Goldinhart Carrot 
always sells readily in market. Universal 
favorite. 
Chantenay. 60 days. Uniform shape, interme- 
diate in size, deep golden orange; fine for 
use. 
Improved Nantes. 65 days. Half-long, almost 
cylindrical, blunt end and very small tap 
root. Flesh fine grained, with very little 
core, the skin orange, and very smooth; 
one of the best table sorts.

main-crop or late carrot, of great uniform- 
ity. The deep crange-red roots are 7 to 714 
inches long and 2 to 214 inches in diam- 
eter, tapering gradually toward the blunt 
end. The flesh is bright orange, fine grained, 
tender, rich in flavor, and very sweet. Popu- 
lar for home garden and for market; valua- 
ble for winter storing, feeding stock and 
none better for table use. Very productive. 
Oxheart. 75 days. A short, thick variety good 
either for family use or market, and profit- 
able for feeding. 
Rod Cored Chantenay. 60 days. Excellent for 
slicing, and dicing for soups, salads, etc., 
because the deep orange heart is the same 
as the flesh, and does not turn yellow when 
cooked. Small tap root and collars.

stumpy. Flesh orange, tender, sweet, fine 
flavor; core inconspicuous.

CRESS 
Fine Curled (Pepper Grass). 40 days. It grows very quickly and is of 
the easiest culture. May be used for flavoring salads, for garnish- 
ing, Or as a green in sandwiches. Used with lettuce, it adds an 
agreebaly pungent taste; best if used when young. Crop is very 
short. Pkt. 10¢; V2 oz. 30c; oz. 50c. 
Upland. 60 days. Besides being ready for use early in the spring, 
this variety also hes the advantage of being green all year. 
Broad, pungent leaves which are crisp and tender when young 
and of the same flavor as Water Cress, the crop of which has been 
a total failure this year. Upland Cress, however, need not be 
grown in a moist location but thrives best in a rich, well-prepared 
soil. Pkt. 15¢. 
EGGPLANT 
CULTURE. Sow in hotbed early in spring; transplant 21 feet 
apart each way after weather becomes settled and warm. If no 
hotbed is at hand plants may be started in pots or boxes. The potato

to potatoes, will keep them in check. Sow 1 ounce for 1000 plants.

thick, of attractive form, and of the finest flavor. The skin is a
