The Orange Carrot. For winter use. The Early Horn ditto. For summer use. The former is usually sown in March; the latter being smaller, and more early, is commonly raised on hot-beds.

How many nice little asses and poets trot over the Atlantic and catch sight of Liberty holding up this carrot of desire at arm's length, and fairly hear her say, as one does to one's pug dog, with a lump of sugar: "Beg! Beg!" and "Jump! Jump, then!" And each little ass and poodle begins to beg and to jump, and there's a rare game round about Liberty, zap, zap, zapperty-zap!

Because it is not only the seasoning of most eatable fruits, but abounds in various roots, as the carrot, beet, parsnip, and in many plants of the grass, or cane kind, besides the famous sugar cane.

It is as follows: Mince a carrot, an onion, and one stalk of celery, and fry them in a little butter.

Carefully and quietly the animals were awakened; slyly they were drawn forth, with gentle whispered calls of 'Nan, nan, nan! and insidious and soothing words, but more especially with the aid of scraps of carrot, sparingly but judiciously distributed.

Then cut the polenta in slices as in preceding receipt and add the chopped sausages with their sauce and grated cheese, in layers as before. Take a small chicken; clean and prepare it. Chop up very fine with a chopping knife, and put into a good-sized saucepan. Take one-half an onion, a small carrot, a piece of celery, and cut all into very small pieces and add them all to the fat.

The brigadier had just pulled a young carrot out of the ground, and rubbing it under his arm 'to clean it, proceeded to chew its thin tail.... I bowed to him, and inquired after his health. He obviously did not recognise me, though he returned my greeting that is to say, touched his cap with his hand, though without leaving off munching the carrot.

The doe brings forth every month, and must be allowed to go with the buck as soon as she has kindled. The sweetest hay, oats, beans, sow-thistle, parsley, carrot tops, cabbage leaves, and bran, should be given to the rabbits, fresh and fresh. If not carefully attended, their own stench will destroy them, and be very unwholesome to those who live near them.

A good English cabbage or carrot may not be introduced in poetry so generally as the rose, but in a new settlement in a wild country, the success of a cabbage or carrot is of more importance to the expedition than bouquets of flowers. Even the women and boys that were domestic servants, originally slaves that I had liberated from the traders, had learnt to take a great interest in cultivation.
