GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



white and compact, and of delicious 

 flavor. We recommend it to all who 

 have not tried it. When sown at the 

 proper season, it will head with cer- 

 tainty and will not fail to give satisfac- 

 tion. 



Late Italian Giant. This is the 

 largest of all Cauliflowers, and grown 

 to considerable extent in the neighbor- 

 hood of New Orleans. It is very large 

 and compact; should not be sown later 

 than June, as it takes from seven to 

 nine months before it heads. 



Early Snowball. An extra early 

 dwarf variety similar to the Dwarf 

 Erfurt; good to sow for last in spring. 

 It will produce flowers as early as the 

 Extra Early Paris, but larger. 



Le Normands Short Stemmed Cauliflower, 



CARROT. 



Carrotte (Fr.), Moehre or Gelbe Rube (Gr.), Zanahoria (Sp.), Carota (Ital.)

Long Red without core. 



St. Valerie or Three-Quarter Long. 



Half Long Luc. 



Danvers Intermediate.

CULTURE. — 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. 



Danver's Intermediate. An intermediate 

 American kind. It is of 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. 



Oxheart, or Guerande. This is an entirely 

 distinct variety 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. 



Improved Long Or- 

 ange. This is an old va- 

 riety; roots long and of 

 deep orange color. The 

 flavor is not so fine as that 

 of the preceding kind. 

 Valuable for field culture. 

 Chantenay Half Long. 

 A half long scarlet vari- 

 ety; similar to the Half 

 Long Luc, but thicker. 



Early Scarlet Horn. 

 A short stump-rooted va- 

 riety of medium size, very 



Long Red without core. 



Danver's 

 Intermediate. 



Half Long 

 Scarlet French, early and of fine flavor. 



Leg Bands for Tagging Poultry.
