CAEDOON. 



50 cts. per oz. 



Cardoon, Fr. Cardo, Span. Kardonen, Ger. 



Large Solid Stalked. 



Is much cultivated in Europe for culinary purposes. The stems of 



the leaves, which are thick and crisp, after being blanched, are the 



eatable parts, and are generally used in soups or stews. They are in 



perfection during the autumn and winter. Sow in April, and transplant 



in trenches of well-manured ground ; blanch by earthing up in the fall. 



CAEEOT. 



10 cts. per oz. 

 Carrotie, Fr. Zanahorias, Span. Moehren, Ger. 



Early Scarlet Short-Horn. Long Surrey. 



Early Horn. Altringhaini, or Field. 



Long Orange. Large White Field. 



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

 should be cultivated for spring and summer use ; but the Long Orange 

 is more suitable for main crops. For an early crop, sow the seed, latter 

 end of March, in well-dug, rich, loamy soil, in drills about one inch 

 deep and twelve inches apart. 



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

 well-manured for previous crops, and requires no fresh manure. If 

 the seed be sown in June, and the plants thinned out to the distance of 

 five or six incnes from each other when young, and kept hoed, they 

 will yield an abundance of fine roots for winter and spring use.

The Early London, and Large Walcheren, can be recommended as 

 superior varieties. 



Sow for early about the middle of September, in a bed of clean rich 

 earth. In about four or five weeks afterward, the plants should be 

 pricked out into another bed, at the distance of four inches from each 

 other every way ; these should be encompassed with garden frames ; 

 covered with glazed sashes, and boards or shutters. The beds must 

 be so secured, and the tops of the beds so covered as to keep out all 

 frost, giving them light and air every mild day throughout the winter. 

 Transplant in April into a bed of the richest earth, in the garden, at 

 ^ 4ista^ce of two feet and a half each way. Keep them well hoed, and
