Early Italian Giant Cauliflower. 
lni|M k ri:tl. (New.) A variety from France, very similar to the 
Le Normands, perhaps a little earlier; very good; I recommend it 
highly. 
CARROT. 
Garotte (Fr.). Moehre or Gelbe Ruebe (Ger.), Zanahoria (Sp.). 
Early Scarlet Horn. | St. Valerie. 
Half Long Scarlet French. Half Long Luc. 
Improved Long Orange. Danvers Intermediate. 
Long Red, without core. 
Requires a sandy loam, well manured, 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 
broad-cast, and often the roots are small from being crowded too much 
together. 
Early Scarlet Horn. A short stump-rooted variety, of medium 
size, very early and of fine flavor. Not cultivated for the market, 
Half Long French Scarlet. This is the most popular variety, 
and extensively grown for the market as well as for family use. It is 
a little later than the Early Horn, but much larger; bright ’scarlet in 
color, and of fine flavor. 
Halt'Long laic. This is a new variety from France. It is as 
early as any previously mentioned, but stump-rooted and larger. It 
is very smooth and of a fine color. 
Improved Long Orange. This is an old variety, roots long 
and of deep orange color. It is not much cultivated in this section, 
and the flavor is not so fine as that of the two preceding kinds. Valu¬ 
able for field culture.
