CELERY. 



Eight vai'ieties were tested. None of the sorts did as well as last year. .Giant 

 White, London Eed, and White Plume were the best. 



CITRONS. 



Citrons were sown in hot-bed and transplanted in frames in the garden and in 

 open ground. Those in frames produced much the larger specimens, two citrons 

 weighing fifteen pounds each. 



The seed was obtained from W. F. Johnston, of the variety known as Colorado 

 Preserving. They were sown April 17th, transplanted from hot-bed May 26th, and 

 ripe August 20th.
