CHANTENAY CARROT.—In the Chan- tenay we have another new, choice French carrot. It is of a rich, dark orange color, and in shape is very symmetrical. The stock has been so well bred that the car- rots have attained to such a uniformity in shape they are almost duplicates of each other. In earliness it ranks inter- mediate between the Danvers and the Short Horn. It is of the style of the Dan- vers, but finer and more symmetrical, and therefore better as a market caxyot for table use. Customers will find the Chantenay a decided acquisition. Per Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; lb., $ INTERMEDIATE RED, OR ST. VAL- ERY.—We consider this variety one of the best sorts for either field or garden culture, as it produces a large growing, symmetrical root, of a deep orange red color; in size between the Half Long and Long Orange varieties. The roots grow very smooth and straight, and are singu- larly free from roughness. The foliage, considering the size of the roots, is very small, and its very fine quality renders it most fit for table use, while its im- mense yield makes it most valuable for those who raise carrots to feed to stock or for market. Per pkt., 5c; oz., lOc; lb., $ LARGE WHITE BELGIAN.—A very productive kind, grown almost exclusive- ly for stock; grows one-third out of the ground; lower part of the root white, that above ground green. Per pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; lb., 50c. CAULIFLOWER. Half ouiite to 100 yds of row; 1 ounce to 1,000 plant?.
