CTJIiTUBB. — Requires a sandy loam, well manured the previous year, and deeply 

 spaded up. Should be sown in drills ten to twelve inches apart, so the plants can be 

 worked after they are up. Gardeners here generally sow them broadcast, and often the 

 roots are small from being crowded too much together. One ounce to 250 feet of drill; 

 2% pounds per acre.

 larger, bright scarlet in color and 

 of fine flavor.

 tivation. It grows three to four 

 inches in diameter, is early, nearly 



oval in shape, and the quality is Half Iiong" Scarlet 

 all that can be desired. French.^ 



IiONG BED. — 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. 



IMFBOVED Z.01TG OBANGE.— This is an old vari- 

 ety, roots long and of deep orange color. The flavor is 

 not so fine as that of the preceding kind. Valuable for 

 field culture.

 from France. It is as early as any pre- 

 viously mentioned, but stump-rooted and 

 larger. Very smooth and of a fine color.

 IiONG. — An intermediate American kind. 

 It is a bright orange color; very smooth, 

 symmetrically formed, somewhat stump- 

 rooted like the Half Long Luc. It will 

 produce more in weight to the acre than 

 any other Half Long variety. Has become 

 one of the leading varieties for shipping. 



E A B I. Y SCABLET-HOBN. — A short 

 stump-rooted variety of medium size, very 

 early and of fine flavor. 



CHANTENAY HAZ.F LONG.— A Half 

 Long Scarlet variety; similar to the Half 

 Long Luc, but thicker. 



CBEOIiE. — This Carrot was originally 

 the Half Long French variety, but grown 

 in Louisiana a number of years it par- 

 takes of the color of the Half Long French, 

 but grows considerably longer. This Carrot 

 can be planted at the time of year when 

 Xorthern or French varieties cannot be 

 planted; for instance, in very early Spring 

 or late Fall. We higlily recommend this 

 variety.
