ON FRUITS AND FLOWERS. 73 



Belgian White carrot, from P. Dodge, of Salem ; these 

 were the average of the crop in size ; with regard to 

 the quality of this new carrot, we are not yet satisfied 

 of their superiority over the long orange ; they are, 

 however, more easily harvested, growing as they do, 

 from two to four inches out of ground ; others of the 

 same kind, were sent in by Erastus Ware. 



Yellow Globe mangel wurtzel ; nothing accompanied 

 these relative to their superiority, if they have any, over 

 the common variety ; sent by Allen Putnam, Wenham.

 mammoth pumpkin, from J. Savory, Bradford.
