 Le Normands, perhaps a little earlier; very good. I recommend it 

 highly.

Requires a sandy loam, well manured, and deeply spaded up. 

 Should be sown in drills ten or 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. 



Early Scarlet Horn. A short, stump-rooted variety of medium 

 size, very early and of fine flavor. Not cultivated for the market. 



Half L.oiigr French Scarlet. This is the most popular variety, 

 and extensively grown for the market as well as for family use. It is 

 a little later than the Early Horn, but much larger ; bright scarlet in 

 color, and of fine flavor. 



Half JLong- L.uc. This is a new variety from France. It is as 

 early as any previously mentioned, but stump-rooted and larger. It 

 is very smooth and of a fine color. 



Improved Long- Orang-e. This is an old variety ; roots long 

 and of deep orange color. It is not much cultivated in this section, 

 and the flavor is not so tine as that of the two preceding kinds. 

 Valuable for field culture.
