^xtra Barly Paris. The earl- 

 iest variety; headssniall. very tender. 



Half fearly Paris. The most 

 popular in the New Orleans market. 

 Heads; of good size, v^'hite and 

 compact. 



J^arly Krfurt. This variety is of 

 more dwarfish growth than the two 

 former. Heads white and of good 

 size- Heads with certaintj'. 



I/C Normands, is a French va- 

 riety, and largely cultivated here. 

 It stands uiore dry weather than the 

 other varieties, and has large and 

 pure white heads Not so popular as 

 the Half Early Paris in this market, 

 but there is no good reason why it 

 should not be, as it is an excellent 

 kind in every respect; stands the 

 heat better than any other. 



i^arly Snowball. An extra early 

 dwarf variety similar to the Dwarf 

 Erfurt; good to sow for last in spring. 

 It will produce flowers as early as 

 the Extra Early Paris, but larger. 



Large Algiers. 



Le Normands Short- Stemmed Cauliftower, 



I/arge Algiers. A French va- 

 riety of the same season as the Le 

 Normands, but a surer producer. It 

 is one of the be^jt kinds, andhas taken 

 the place of other second early varie- 

 ties since it has been introduced. 

 The principal variety at Grand Isle. 



Barly Italian Giant. Very 

 large fine sort, not quite so late as the 

 Late Italian, and almost as large. 

 The heads are quite large, white and 

 compact, and of delicious flavor. We 

 recommend it to all who have not tried 

 it. When sown at the proper season, 

 it will head with certainty, and will 

 not fail to give satisfaction. 



I<ate Italian Giant. This is 

 the largest of all Cauliflowers, and 

 grown to a considerable extent in the 

 neighborhood of New Orleans. It is 

 very firm and compact; should not 

 be sown latter than June, as it takes 

 from seven to nine months before it 

 heads. 



CARROT. 



Carrotte (Fr.), MoEHRE OR Gelbe Rube (Ger. ), Zanahoria (Sp.), Carot^A (Ital.) 

 Requires a sandy loam, well manured the previous year, and deeply spaded up. Should 

 be sown in drills ten to twelve inches apart, so the plants can be worked after they are up. 

 Gardeners here generally sow them broad-cast, and often the roots are small from being 

 crowded too much together.
