Long Red Carrot, without core. St. Valerie Carrot. Danvers" Intermediate. 



L.ong' Red, Tvithout core. A new Tariety from France, which is 

 of cylindrical shape, very smooth, bright scarlet color, and of fine 

 flaYor ; has no heart or core. It is not quite so early as the Half 

 Long, but more productive. Consider it a first-class variety for the 

 table, and one that will come into general cultivation when better 

 known. 



St. Valerie. A new variety from France, bright red in color ; a 

 little larger and longer than the Half Long French, and stronger in 

 the leaves. This is one of the finest carrots, and will take the place 

 of the Half Long in the course of time. It is very smooth. 



Danvers. An intermediate American variety of recent intro- 

 duction. It is of a bright orange color ; very smooth ; symmetrically 

 formed ; somewhat stump-rooted like the Half Long Luc. It will 

 produce more in weight to the acre than any other Half Long variety.
