 A fine variety, great favorite and standard 

 throug-hout the country; very early, close 

 growing-, of compact habit. It is without 

 doubt one of the most satisfactory early 

 varieties. The heads are large. For early 

 or late planting, for the family or the mar- 



ket garden this variety can be depended 

 upon for excellent results.

Garrotte (Fr.), Moehre or Gelbe Rube (Ger.), Zanahoria (Sp.), Carota (Ital.) 



CUI^TUBB. — 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. This is a deep rooted crop and 

 ground should be well broken and the soil prepared deep enough to allow the plants to- 

 penetrate. One ounce to 250 feet of drill; 2i/^ pounds per acre. 



SAI^PI.ONCrSCABI.BT

 ular variety, and extensively 

 grown for the market as well as 

 for family use. It is a little 

 later than the Early Horn, much 

 larger, bright scarlet in color and 

 of fine flavor.

 THBBB-QUABTBB I. O N G.— 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. 



OXHBABT OB GUBBANDB.— 



This is an entirely distinct vari- 

 ety and deserving of general cul- 

 tivation. It grows three to four 

 inches in diameter, is early, nearly 

 oval in shape, and the quality is 

 all that can be desired. 



DANVBB'S INTEBMBDIATE HAZiP LONG.— An 



intermediate American kind. It is a bright orange 

 color; very smooth, symmetrically formed, somewhat 

 stump rooted like J;he 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. 



IMPBOVBB LONG OBAITGE.— 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 and stock food.

 Prench. 



Bed St. Valerie. 



IiONG BED. — Without core. A variety 

 from France, which is of cylindrical shape, 

 very smooth, bright scarlet color, and of 

 fine fiavor; 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. 



HAIiF l^ONG IiUC. — An excellent variety 

 from France. It is as early as any pre- 

 viously mentioned, but stump-rooted and 

 larger. Very smooth and of a fine color.

 stump-rooted variety of medium size, very 

 early and of fine flavor.

 Long Luc, but thicker. 



CBEOIJE. — 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 

 Northern or French varieties cannot be 

 planted; for instance, in very early Spring 

 or late Fall. We highly recommend this 

 variety.
