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

 should be cultivated for spring use; but the Long Orange is more 

 suitable for a main crop. For an early crop sow the seed, latter end 

 of ]March, in well-dug, rich loamy soil, in diills about an inch deop 

 and twelve inches apart. For late crop sow in May. 



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

 well-manured for previ-ous crops, and requires no fresh manure.

Sow the last of March or early in April, in rich mellow ground, and 

 in a situation where the plants can be protected from the parching heat 

 of a summer sun; in dry weather water freely. When the plants are 

 Sve or six inches high, transplant a portion in trenches well manured, 

 and repeat at intervals of two or three vveeks for succession. As they 

 advance in growth, blanch by earthing up, which should be performed 

 gradually in fine weather, taking care not to bury the hearts of the 

 plants. The Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted, may be planted either on level 

 ground or in shallow drills. The root of it swells like a turnip, and 

 may be preserved in sand through the winter; this is cooked and 

 dressed similar to a Beet.
