Improved Long Orange. 



CARROTS. 



{mf)un.) 



Carrots succeed best on heavy loam, which, preferably, should have been well fertilized the previous 

 year, as fresh manure often causes the roots to grow pronged and misshapen. Sow the seed as early in the 

 spring as the ground can be prepared, finning the soil down over them. If sown late they should be 

 soaked in tepid water, then mixed with plaster or sifted coal ashes and sown upon freshly prepared soil. 

 Quick germination and rapid growth are necessary. An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of "drill ; 4 pounds 

 will s/nv an acre.

CELERIAC, or TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY. 



(^nottert ©ellerie.) 



Sow in early spring, in light, rich soil ; transplant the seedlings in May, and 

 water freely in dry weather. They will be ready for cooking in October, and may be 

 preserved in dry sand for use during winter. Celeriac is said to be as fine a nerve 

 tonic ag celery, and can be grown in many sections where celery culture is practi- 

 cally impossible. The roots have almost the same flavor as the crispest white celery 

 stales, while they keep much longer than celery. An ounce of seed will produce 

 abgfct 2,000 plants. 



/ PRAGUE GIANT. The roots of this variety are very large and smooth, with no 

 *ode roots. When young they are quite tender and marrow-like, having a very fine 

 flavor and cooking quickly. The plants are vigorous; with large, deep green foliage. 

 We believe this to be the best of all varieties for general culture, and so have dis- 

 carded other sorts. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts.
