JLong: Red without core. A new variety 

 from France, which is of cylindrical 

 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. Consider it a first- 

 class variety for the table, and one that 

 will come into general cultivation when 

 better known.

Carrot, Long Ked, without core, 

 during the hot months. Trans- 

 plant when the plants are six 

 inches high, into trenches 

 about four inches deep, nine 

 wide and two and a half feet 

 apart, made very rich by dig- 

 ging in rotten manure. Plants 

 should be from six to eight 

 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 ; lantanias will answer 

 the same purpose. Celery re- 

 quires plenty of moisture, and 

 watering with soap-suds, or 

 liquid manure 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; it 

 is white, solid and crisp.

 Wliite, or Boston Mar- 

 ket, is short but earlier than 



Large White Solid Celery.
