CULTUUE.—A light, deep, siinily loam is tlie most siiitalile, aud, as manure applied in a fresh state often induces forked aud ill-shaped roots, tlie sround intended for carrots sliouhl ho lieavily manured and well dug the previous season. If additional manure is considered requisite, let it be applied after the crop is up, using guano or some good artificial manure. Sow as early in Spring as the ground is in fair working condition, in drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, covering tlie seeds evenly to the depth of about half an inch. As soon as the plants are sutBcieutly strong, thiu out to from four to six inches, according to the variety, the larger ones requiring the greater distance, and keep the surface open by a frequent use of the hoe. Carrot-seed being slow to germinate, it soaked in tepid water for about twelve hours, aud afterward mixed with dry sand to separate, it will germinate more freely. Ifb)! mail in quantities of A ounces and upwards, postaijc must he added at the rate of Kic. per pound. Allrinsham.—An excellent variety, smaller than the Orange; mild aud well flavored.
