The Danvers Half Long Orange is the standard main 

 crop variety ; being usually sold by the barrel, box, or 

 bushel, for fall and winter use. It is a remarkably 

 prolific variety, yielding frequently (and in some in- 

 stances considerably) over forty tons per acre. It is 

 withal an excellent keeper. 



The Thick Half Long Orange is an excellent strain 

 of the ordinary Improved 

 Long Orange, and is exten- 

 sively grown in field culture ; 

 but is not as desirable, ex- 

 cept for stock feeding, as 

 the Danvers. The Improved 

 Long Orange is the standard 

 stock carrot. The roots are 

 laro^e and Ions:, and are of 

 good quality for feeding. The 

 Large White Belgian is used 

 for stock only. As the crown 

 of this carrot grows five or 

 six inches out of ground, 

 they are more easily dug than 

 r.ny other sort; and are liked 

 by many on this account. 

 The Lons: Scarlet Antrins;- 

 ham is a very iiTeguIar 

 shaped red variety. It is 

 less productive and is no 

 better in any way than the Long Orange. 



Cauliflower i^Brassica aleracea Botrytis). The cul- 

 ture of this crop involves much painstaking labor;
