The large late varieties need three, and on rich soil perhaps even four inches space in the row to each plant After once having taken a good start they grow fast, and do not need so very much attention.

Early Scarlet is most generally used for forcing for early market. Deep orange with small tops, and of good quality. Adapted for shallow soils. Oxheart.—An intermediate between the Early Horn and Half Long varieties. In quality it is extra good, and will prove profitable in both*the home and market garden. Where other sorts require dig- ging, Oxheart can be pulled. Early Half Long Scarlet.—A stump- rooted sort, well adapted for shallow soils, and good for table use. New Chantenay is an improvement on the Half-Long Scar- let, of same general characteristics, and non, P^"/^"-^—A Half Long variety of largetizris^dese°.^edly popular for general uses-a sort of all-purpose carrot.
