Late Italian Giant. This is the largest of all the Cauliflowers ; 

 it is grown to a considerable extent in the neighborhood of New Orleans. 

 It is very large and compact, should not be sown later than June, as it 

 takes from seven to nine months before it heads. 



CARROT.

Eaely Scarlet Hoen. 

 Half Long Scaelet Feench. 



Impeoved Long Orange. 

 Long Red, without coee. 



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

 Should be sown in drills ten to twelve inches apart, so the plants can 

 be worked after they are up. Gardeners here generally sow them 

 broadcast, and often the roots are small from being crowded too much 

 together.

Half Long Luc Carrot. Half Long French 



Scarlet Carrot. 



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

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



Half Long 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 Long: Luc. 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 Orange. This is an old variety, roots long 

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

 and the flavor is not so fine as that of the two proceeding kinds. Valuable 

 for field culture.
