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. I 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. Thisis one of the finest carrots, and will inthe course of time 
take the place of the Half Long. Itis very smooth. 
Damvers. An intermediate American variety of recent introduc- 
tion. Itis ofa 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.

X3 deep, nine wide, and two and a

apart. When planted out during 
the hot months, the trenches 
require to be shaded, which is 
generally done by spreading 
cotton cloth over them ; lantan-

Celery requires plenty of moist- 
ure, and watering with soap- 
suds, or liquid manure, will ben- 
efit the plants a great deal. 
When tall enough it should be 
earthed up to blanch to ae it 
fit for the table.
