Long Red, without core. A new variety from France, which is 
of cylindrical shape, very smooth, bright scarlet color, and of fine fla- 
vor; 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. 
Si. 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 sinooth. 
Danvers. An intermediate American variety of recent introduc- 
tion. It is of a bright orange color; very smooth, symmetrically 
formed; somewhat stump-rooted like the Half Long Luc. It will pro- 
duce more in weight to the acre than any other Half Long variety.

<=} and September fora later crop. 
Sow thinly and shade during the 
hot months. When the plants 
are six inches high, transplant 
into trenches about four inches 
deep, nine wide, andtwo 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; lantanais willanswer the 
same purpose. Celery requires 
plenty of moisture, and watering 
with soapsuds,or liquid manure, 
wili benefit the plants a great 
deal. When tall enough it 
should be earthed up to blanch 
to make it fit for the table.
