Culture. — Carrots, to grow to perfection, re- 

 quire a rich, deep, sandy loam, well pulverized and 

 deeply cultivated. For an early crop sow in May 

 and June in drills about i foot apart, thinning out 

 to 4 inches in the row; sow for main crop in June 

 and July. An important point in sowing Carrots, 

 as in ail other seeds, is to tread the row firmly 

 after sowing. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill ; 3 or 4 pounds 

 for one acre

 delicious vegetable; our most experienced cultivators, however, 

 acknowledge the advantage of a cool, moist season. Pursue the 

 same general directions as recommended for growing cabbage, wa- 

 tering liberally during dry weather. An occasional application of 

 liquid manure is beneficial.

Dry 



NVeather. This new variety of Cauliflower is specially 

 adapted for sections subject to long dry sea- 



sons, as it will grow well and produce the finest heads in spite of the 

 lack of moisture, which is required by other sorts. The heads grow 

 to a large size, are very solid, pure white and of delicious flavor. It 

 will prove valuable for growing in the southern states, where the 

 climate is hot and long seasons of dry weather are experienced.

 under glass, and if well grown it will produce a much heavier crop
