St. Valerie. 



Danver's Intermediate. 



Long Bed without core. 



CREOLE. — This Carrot was originally the Half 

 Long French variety, but grown in Louisiana a num- 

 ber of years it partakes of the color of the Half 

 Long - French, but grows considerably longer. This 

 Carrot can be planted at the time of year when 

 Northern or French varieties cannot be planted; for 

 instance, in very early Spring or late Fall. We 

 highly recommend this variety of Carrots. 



HALF LONG LUC. — An excellent variety from 

 France. It is as early as any previously mentioned, 

 but stump-rooted and larger. Very smooth and of 

 a fine color. 



ST. VALERIE OR THREE-QUARTER LONG. — 



Also a French variety, bright red in color; a little 

 larger and longer than the Half Long French, and 

 stronger in the leaves. This is one of the finest 

 Carrots. It is very smooth. 



EARLY SCARLET-HORN. — A short stump-rooted 

 variety of medium size, very early and of fine 

 flavor. 



IMPROVED LONG ORANGE.— This is an old 

 variety, roots long and of deep orange color. The 

 flavor is not so fine as that of the preceding kind. 

 Valuable for field culture. 



LONG RED. — Without core. A 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. We consider it a first-class 

 variety for the table, and should be more cultivated. 



CELERY. 



Half Long 1 Luc.

CULTURE. — Sow in May and in June for early transplanting, and in August and 

 September for a later crop. Sow thinly and shade during the hot months. When the 

 plants are six inches high, transplant into trenches about four inches deep, nine inches 

 wide and two and a half feet apart, made very rich by digging in rotted manure. Plants 

 should be from 6 to 8 inches apart. When planted out during the hot months, the 



Frotscher's Adam's Early Corn is True t.o Name.
