'F Mr. Clarke's celebrated stud of Clydesdales sup- T plied the Sweepstake winners and nearly all the championship winners at the World's Fair. Northrup, King & Co.: J No one who feeds stock can af/ord to be without S Carrots. I feed each vear Mangel Wiirzel and af Ruta Baga, and regard them very highly; but 3f Carrots I consider indispensable. 1 increase my X. acreage of Carrots each year, and believe I X secure better proportionate results from theif X use than from anything else 1 feed. X As to varieties, nothing can be better m pomt x; of quality and great productiveness than your ^ Victoria (yellow) and Hastodon (white). I use X them both and have never yet seen them ^ equalled. In this connection I am glad to express the X unqualified satisfaction your seeds have S given me in the many years I have traded ^ with you. ^"^*5?:'^E^^KE. I N , K. & CO.'S MASTODON CARROT. This is the heaviest cropping Carrot grown, yielding more tons to the acre than any other sort. The flesh is wliite, crisp, solid and very sweet in flavor. It is a vast improx'e- nient on the white and green Belgian sorts which have been such favorites in the past, as it is not only much* more productive but vastly easier to handle. The roots are short and very heavy at the shoulder, renderin g them easily harvested. An important feature, also, is that they do not easily break in pulling or storing. Too much can scarcely be said of their size and great pro-^ diictiveness. The roots frequently measure 15 to 30 inches in circumference, and 18 to 35 tons to the acre is not an extravagant statement as to the yield. Large pkt., 10c; iT^lb 30c: T lb., 50c; lb., 90c;5 lbs., $3.75, by mail postpaid. * n', K. & CO.'S VICTORIA CARROT. This is the largest and unquestionably the heaviest cropping and most nutri-^ tious yellow variety in cultivation. It is tlie largest and best form of Orange or Yellow Carrot known. The roots are remarkably fine, very symmetrical and of excellent quality, possessing high feeding properties. It is a heavy cropper on all soils, but especially adapted for strong or rich land. It grows fully half as mttch weight again per acre as the or- dinary varieties, and as the roots grow more above the ground, it is much easier to gather the crop. This grand varietvis sure to suit every one who grows it. Large pkt., 10c j %lb , 30c; Vâlb., 50c; lb., 90c; a lbs., $3.75, by mail, postpaid. â \VHITE" BELGIAN. Grows long; green top, well out of the ground. Large pkt., 5c; 14 lb., 30c; >2 lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $3.00, bv mail, postpaid. YELLOW BELGIAN. Similar to the white, but yellow in color. Large pkt., 5c: 141b., 30c; K lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $3.00, by mail, postpaid. IMPORTANT-Ow- ing to the large size which these Carrots attain, less seed is re- quired to the acre than of other sortsâ 2 lbs. per acre being ^ufacient. ^»I««,,» ill a i It is no exaggeration to say that we could fill . closely' printed book much larger than this catalogue ( with testimonials in praise of our Slastodon and Vic- J toria Carrots. All, without exception, unite in pro- !'ouncing them the grandest of all Carrots for stock.
