{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.

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.

Beets require a deep, rich soil. Plant for general crop about the mid- 
dle of May, in drills two feet apart, and when the plants are well up thin to

planted till the first weeks of Summer. 

The Mangel Wurtzels and the White Sugar Beets are excellent for 
feeding to Cattle.

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

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.

The Early Russian, White Spined, and Short Green are the kinds most 
in cultivation ; the White Spined being preferred for the table. The Short 
Green and White Spined are both good for Pickles.

ground in hills, five feet apart each way, as soon as the ground is warm; 
give a liberal supply of fine, well-rotted manure to each hill; use plenty of 
seed to avoid loss from insects; and when beginning to run, thin to four 
plants to each hill.

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.
