Early Scariet Horm. A _ short, 
stump-rooted variety of medium size, 
very early and of fine flavor. Not culti- 
vated for the market. 
Half Long French Scarlet. This 
is the most popular variety, and exten- 
sively grown for the market as well as | 
for family use. It is a little later than 
the Early Horn, but much larger; bright 
searlet in color, and of fine flavor. 
Half Long Lue. This is a new va- 
riety from France. It is as early asany 
previously mentioned, but stump-rooted 
and larger. It is very smooth and ofa 
fine color. 
Improved Long Orange. Thisis 
an old variety; roots long and of deep 
orange color. It isnot much cultivated 
in this section,-and the flavor is not so 
fine as that of the two preceding kinds. 
Valuable for field culture. 
Lomg Red, without core. A new va- 
riety from France, which is of cylindri- 
cal shape, very smooth, bright scarlet 
color, and of fine flavor; has no heart 
or core. It is not quite so early as the 
Half Long, but more productive. Con- 
sider it a first-class variety for the table, 
and one that will come into general cul- 
tivation when better known. 
St. Valerie. <A new variety from 
France, bright red in color; a little lar- 
ger 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. 
Darver’s. An intermediate Ameri- 
can variety of recent introduction. It 
is of a bright orange color ; very smooth ; 
symmetrically formed; somewhat 
stump-rooted like the Half Long Lue. 
It will produce more in weight to the 
acre than any other Half Long variety.

HR 
Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Celery. 
and two and a half feet apart, made 
very rich by digging in rotten manure. 
Plants should be from 6 to 8 inches 
apart. When planted out during the 
hot months, the trenches require to be 
shaded, which is generally done by 
spreading cotton cloth over them ; latan- 
niers will answer the same purpose. 
Celery requires plenty of moisture, and 
watering with soapsuds, or liquid man- 
ure, will benefit the plants a great deal. 
When tall enough it should be earthed 
up to blanch to make it fit for the table. 
Large White Solid is the variety, 
mostly grown. Is white, solid and crisp. 
Perfection Heartwell. A new in- 
troduction from France. This variety 
is in size between the Large White Solid 
and Dwarf kinds; it is of excellent 
quality, very thick, and when blanched 
the heart is of a beautiful golden yellow
