 Early ScAULET Horn, " 20 cts. Altringiiam or Field, 10 cts 

 Half-long Orange, " 20 cts. Large White Field, 10 cts 



The first three are the best kinds for table use. The Early Horn 

 ehould be cultivated for spring use ; but the Long Orange is more 

 suitable for a main crop. For an early crop sow the seed, latter end 

 of March, in tvell-dug, rich loamy soil, in drills about an inch deop 

 and twelve inches apart. For late crop sow in May. 



The most suitable ground for late Carrots, is that which has been 

 well-manured for previ.ous crops, and requires no fresh manure.

 of a summer sun; in dry w^eather water freely. When the plants are 

 five or six inches high, transplant a portion in trenches well manured, 

 and repeat at intervals of two or three weeks for succession. As they

 plants. The Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted, may be planted either on level
