■ DANIELS’ SCARLET PERFECTION. A grand main 
crop variety of the intermediate type, and being stump- 
rooted, it .is well adapted for growing on soils where deep 
culture is not possible. The roots are of a bright orange 
■colour, very handsome and uniform in shape, with a fine 
clear skin, which makes it a most desirable sort for 
exhibition. It is one of the best flavoured and heaviest 
cropping varieties for general use, and one we can highly

DANIELS’ TELEGRAPH. This grand Carrot is one 
of the best forms of intermediate yet introduced, being 
far in advance of the old James’ Scarlet. It produces 
a heavy crop of roots, which are of uniform shape, 
attractive colour, and very clear in the skin. Where 
sufficient depth of soil exists it will prove one of the 
most profitable sorts to grow. It is unequalled for 
exhibition purposes, having obtained more First Prizes 
than any Carrot with which we are acquainted

Cultivation. — By attention to a few points of importance, splendid clean straight Carrots can be cultivated without great delay. It is not necessary 
to manure the land for a Carrot crop, in fact, freshly manured land is a drawback ; the soil should bo (where possible) of a deep light nature, and the 
land should, the Autumn previously, bo deeply trenched two to three feet, and a quite light drossing of manure given at the same time ; land which has 
been recently used for Celery is excellent, and will not need specially manuring. , 
For the earliest crop, make a sowing on the hotbed in frames between the rows of early Potatoes, and pull the Carrots quite small. I lie first sowing 
of the outdoor crop should be made early in April on a warm border, Daniels’ “Harbinger ” or “Forcing Horn ’’ being excellent kinds ; make other sowings 
in succession through the Summer until August, when the best kind to sow is “Scarlet Horn.” For main crop, “Daniels’ Scarlet Perfection ” and 
“ Telegraph ” can be highly recommended. . ,, . , . . . . . . . .. . 
Carrot seed should bo sown on borders of finely worked soil, in drills about a foot apart. When the plants are nicely up, thin out grad ualty, leaving 
the smaller growing kinds, such as “ Forcing Horn,” to be pulled as required, and the larger kinds seven to nine inches apart. Keep the hoe going 
between the sows to ensure cleanliness, and nothing more is needed until the end of October, when the crop should be lifted, the tops carefully twisted 
off, and the roots stored in dry san l in a cellar, for use as needed during the Winter. . 
When specimen roots are wanted for exhibition, it is the practice to make holes with a crowbar, and fill with fine soil, sowing the seeds on the 
top and thinning out to ono plant in each hole, as advised for Parsnips. 
“I have much pleasure in sending you my order for. Seeds. They always turn 
out so well. X took First Prize for Scarlet Perfection and Telegraph Carrots last year." 
—Mr. J. PENNELLS, Burwash. 
" I am pleased to tell you that your Telegraph Carrot cannot be beaten. 1 took 
•even First and three Second Prizes last year." — Mr. T. DODD, Wye.
