<br> attractive It has the minimum of core and is crisp tender and <br> sweet It is one of the heaviest cropping varieties and of sym- <br> metrical shape and handsome appearance an admirable variety <br> to bunch for market as well as being unexcelled for private use <br> 10c pkt 15c oz 30c I4 lb 90c lb <br> HALF LONG RED Siump-rooted In size and time of matur- <br> ity it is between the Early t carlet Horn and the Long Orange <br> This is the sort so common in the markets of New <br> York and vicinity It attains only a medium <br> size but is admirablj- adapted <br> to bunching and in private <br> gardens is one of the best varie- <br> ties to grow for use during <br> the summer See cut <br> HENDERSONS INTERMEDIATE This is certainly the best <br> main crop carrot Our cut is no flattering representation but <br> shows it as we have seen it in enormous quantities and we <br> strongly advise our customers to plant it It is one of the most <br> uniform in shape that we know and where the soil is favorable <br> it will always grow clean and free from side roots The core is <br> small and very tender and there is no indication of woody <br> character at any stage of its growth It is also entirely free <br> from any coarse rank flavor so common with many sorts <br> For private purposes it is ideal and its yielding capacity is <br> enormous which with its handsome color and fine appearance <br> makes it invaluable to truckers See cut 0c pkt 15c oz <br> 3 5c i lb 90c lb <br> CHANTENAT HALF LONG SCARLET A stump-rooted <br> variety somewhat resembling the well-known Half Long Ked <br> Stump-rooted Carrot but having a larger shoulder and being <br> much more productive 5c pkt 10c oz 30c 34 lt 90c lb <br> LONG ORANGE IMPROVED One of the most desirable for <br> either

DANVERS Half Long A handsome cylindrical-shaped carrot <br> of good size and stump-rooted It is of a rich dark orange <br> color grows to a large size is smooth and the flesh very close <br> in texture with little core It is a first-class carrot for all <br> soils and it is claimed that under good cultivation it will yield <br> the greatest weight per acre with the smallest length of root of <br> any now grown See cut 5c pkt 10c oz 25c 3 lb 80c lb <br> OX HEART or GT7ERANDE A French variety of recent intro- <br> duction and a decided acquisition It is intermediate between <br> Half Long and Horn varieties and perfectly distinct The shape <br> is nearly oval and the color and quality all that can be desired <br> See cut 5c pkt 10c oz 30c I4 lb 90c lb <br> EARLY FRENCH FORCING The

shape can hardly be <br> surpassed 5c pkt 10c oz 25c I4 lb 80c lb <br> EARLY HALF LONG SCARLET Pointed-rooted A medium <br> early soit of great value It is most useful in the younger <br> state either
