{KO) OWIss GUSWOMIBRS,

WE have endeavored to include in our Catalogue only the names of such varieties as will prove valuable. Many zew kinds are introduced each season, and many old varieties appear under new names ; but until the new sorts prove valuable, we prefer not to insert them in our list.

No labor or care is spared in our efforts to secure the very best and purest varieties, and nearly all our American Seeds are grown under our immediate supervision. Such as can not be grown with success here, are selected for us by reliable parties in Europe.

Our correspondents will confer a favor by sending us their orders as early as possible, that they may receive attention before the pressure of our Spring trade begins, thereby avoiding the delay which will sometimes occur, notwithstanding our utmost efforts to prevent it.

Give the address in full, with Post-Office, County, and State.

All orders for Implements should be written on a separate sheet from the orders for Seeds.

lowing rates :

Plant early in the Spring, in drills one foot apart, and when well up, thin to six inches in the drill. Cultivate well, and protect during cold weather with a covering of litter. The following Spring transplant into rows three and a half feet apart each way, selecting a very rich, moist soil, which will always produce the finest heads. They require an open exposure, away from any shade or drip of trees, which causes the plants to grow weak and spind- ling. A bed will last about five years.

This is a very valuable early Summer vegetable, and deserves to be more generally cultivated.

Plant in the seed-bed early in Spring, in drills twenty inches apart, in very rich soil. The following Spring remove to the permanent beds, which should be in very rich sandy loam. Make the trenches to receive the roots, three feet apart and eight inches deep, and set the plants one foot apart in the bottom of the trenches, covering with three inches of soil from the sides of the trenches. When the shoots are four inches high, draw around them three inches more of soil. Keep well hoed and free from weeds, and when the plants are eighteen inches above the surface, draw the remaining earth about them and level off the bed.

To have a durable bed, and shoots of the largest size, dig the trenches, when setting the plants, four feet apart and twelve inches deep, setting the plants on the bottom, twelve to eighteen inches apart, and drawing the earth in gradually from the sides of the trenches, as before directed.

Thoroughly enriching and trenching the soil eighteen inches deep the pre- vious year greatly adds to the success of the crop.

The Colossal has proved a very valuable variety, and greatly excels the old, both for family and market use. It should be planted farther apart than the other, as the roots growing much larger require more room. We recom- mend planting in rows three or four feet apart, and setting the plants two or three feet apart in the rows.

The Early York, Wakefield, Ox-Heart, and Winningstadt are the best for early use. The Wakefield is specially valuable for market gardeners, and also for family use. The Premium Flat Dutch and American Drumhead are best for general crop ; and the Drumhead Savoy is the best late sort for family use.

For very early use plant in the Autumn, in a seed-bed, and protect in cold-frames during the winter. Transplant in the following Spring, as soon as the soil will admit. For Autumn and Winter use, plant in the seed-bed in the Spring and early Summer, and when six inches high transplant into rich soil, two feet apart each way for the Early sorts, and three by two and a half feet for the Large Winter sorts. To secure the best results, the soil should be not too dry, thoroughly enriched, and the crop should be hoed at least once in ten days.

CARAWAY—Carum earuli.

Carvi. Alcaravia. Kummel.

Valued for the seed, of which large quantities are used for distillation, and for flavoring cakes and confectionery. Plant in Spring, in drills two feet apart, and thin to six inches in the drill. The seed matures the second year. Biennial. eri

For forcing and for early use the Erfurt and the Early Paris are the best. For general crop the Nonpareil and Lenormands are particularly recommend- ed. The latter grows very large.

For early plants sow the seeds from the first to the middle of September, and transplant into cold frames for protection through the Winter, or sow in the hot-bed in March; transplant into deep rich soil about the middle ot April. As the heads begin to appear the leaves should be tied or broken down over them, to prevent injury from the heat of the sun.

The Dwarf White Solid and Cole’s Crystal White are considered the most desirable for general cultivation. Carter’s Dwarf Crimson is of very dwarf habit, exceedingly solid, and of a dark crimson color.

Plant in the seed-bed in Spring, and when three inches high transplant into a temporary bed three inches apart each way. When about eight inches high, again transplant to where they are to grow, setting them in rows five feet apart, and six inches apart in the row. Give good culture, and get all the growth possible till three or four weeks before taking up, when the leaves should be carefully straightened up, held firmly together, and earthed up suf- ficiently to blanch them.

The soil should be a moist loam, and very rich. This culture produces celery more free from rust than any other.

Cultivation same as Garden Corn, excepting the Large Dent, which should be four feet apart each way.

The Canada Early and the Large White Flint are the best for general crop. The latter is very extensively grown in the vicinity of New-York City, the season being sufficiently long to mature the crop. The Canada and Early Dutton are chiefly valuable on account of their early maturity, in ordinary seasons being fully ripe in August.

A large number of new Tomatoes have been introduced within the last year or two, but of these very few have proved valuable, and some, we fear, are old sorts with new names, or the same sorts with different names. Of about thirty kinds which we have thoroughly tested, we find the Rising Sun, General Grant, and Chorlton’s Prolific to be the best, (among the new ones,) and we consider these valuable additions to the list of Tomatoes.

Plant in the hot-bed early in Spring ; and when the ground is warm, and there is no danger of frost, transplant into good, warm, sandy loam, four feet apart each way. A little quick, fine manure in each hill will be of much ser- vice in bringing forward the plants. Trellises of stakes and hoops are good to support the plants ; but covering the ground with old hay or straw is generally adopted by market gardeners to keep the fruit clean.

The Seed of all the varieties may be sown broadcast alone, or among corn; but when the Turnips are to have the exclusive use of the ground, it is much the best method to plant in drills, as hoeing and thinning can be done without injury to the crop, and the roots will be large and the size even. The drills for the four first named sorts should be fourteen inches apart, and the plants thinned to five inches apart. The Stone and Aberdeen and White French require more room each way, while the five last named should be three feet apart, if on ridges, or two feet on level ; and the plants should be thinned to ten inches apart.
