Chantenay. DANVERS. In the town of Danvers, Mass., the raising of carrots on an extensive scale has for years heen quite a business, the farmers finding a large market in the neighboring cities of Salem, Lynn, and Boston. After years of experimenting they settled upon a variety which originated among them (as did the Danvers onion), known in their locality as the "Danvers ; It is in form about midway between the Long Or- ange and Short Horn class, growing on light soils generally with a stump root.

This carrot is of a rich, dark orange in color, very smooth and handsome, and from its length is easier to dig than the Long Orange. It is a first-class carrot for any soil. The seed we offer is from most carefully selected stock. Price, per pound, postpaid, $; per i pound, 38 cents; per ounce, 15 cents; per package, 5 cents. P. L.

Don't plant it for stock feeding, as it will not yield equal to the Danvers. Price, per pound, postpaid, 60 cents; per J pound, 18 cents; per ounce, 10 cents; per package, 5 cents.
