NEW INTERMEDIATE RED. This splendid variety originated in France. It grows in uniform large size, intermediate in shape between the Half-Long and Long Orange. The roots are straight and smooth, broad at the top, measuring about two and three-fourths inches across, with a length of about eleven inches. The color is a rich orange red.

Our Market Gardener's Carrot grows to uniform large size, intermediate in shape between the Half-Long and Long Orange. The roots are straight and smooth, broad at the top, measuring about two and three-fourths inches across, with a length of about eleven inches. The color is rich orange red. Its table qualities are faultless. It is ear- lier THAN THE Dakvers, the leaves are shorter, fewer and finer than this well-known sort. These features make it extremely well adapted for early forcing. It is a splendid sort, however, for growing outside at any season of the year, being a wonderfully heavy cropper on any kind of soil and highly nutritious for stock feeding. It grows without neck, the crown is hollow and it grows well under the ground, which prevents it from becoming sunburnt—a very important feature. Many leading gardeners and farmers are now plant- ing it to the exclusion of all others, and our sales of this variety last season were more than double that of any other Carrot on the list. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 30c; lb., |1.00. Remember $1.00 buys Seeds in Packets to the value of $1.25 $2.00 buys Seeds in Packets to the value of $2.50 $5.00 buys Seeds in Packets to the value of $6.25
