94 EECOED OF HOJBTICULTUEE. 



General Grant. It is very long, twenty to thirty inches ; 

 very solid and crisp. A fine variety for forcing, and does 

 tolerably well in the open ground. 



JVarbit07i*s Giant. — Another very long variety, of good 

 quality. Should be planted in a hot-bed or forcing-pit. 



CELEEY. 



The two most popular varieties of this vegetable is the 

 Boston Market and the Incomparable Dwarf. The latter 

 is chiefly relied on for New York market and the former 

 for Boston. They are both dwarf-growing kinds, of ex- 

 cellent quality, and are always sure to produce good heads 

 with fair treatment. 



KALE. 



The most popular sort of kale in the vicinity ot ]S"ew 

 York is the Dwarf German, although many other sorts are 

 occasionally grown. 



Ahergeldie Kale. — This is a new sort, with very finely 

 curled leaves. It is of fine flavor, and will probably be- 

 come quite popular on account of its handsome leaves. 



LETTUCE. 



"We have tested many varieties ot lettuce, and like the 

 Curled Simpson best for early, and the Curled India for 

 late. 



MELONS. 



TFarc?'s Nectar. — A green-floshed musk melon of high 

 flavor. From our experience with it the past year, we 

 are inclined to place it among the very best varieties.
