PEAS AND CELERY. 139 
satisfactory trellis was made by using a wire netting hav- 
ing large meshes. This was fastened between the rows 
by means of stakes, and thus each strip of netting served 
as a support for a double row. This forms the neatest 
and most substantial trellis here used for supporting the 
vines. 
The yields from extremely dwarf varieties, such as 
Tom Thumb, have proved unsatisfactory. The plants re- 
quire no support, but they yield only one picking, and 
this is so light that their culture under glass cannot in 
all cases be advised. 
Peas grown under glass are sensitive to heat, and the 
warm spring days, when accompanied by sunshine, check 
their growth to a marked degree. The most healthy 
growth is made during the cold months of the year, and 
after April 1 not much should be expected from the 
vines unless steps are taken to keep the house as cool 
as possible. This may be accomplished by shading, and 
by a free use of water upon the walks of the house. 
From a financial standpoint, the growing of peas can 
scarcely be advised, but amateurs may derive much satis- 
faction from their cultivation, as the plants are easily 
grown, they require little care, and the quality of the 
peas is especially appreciated when no fresh ones are 
on the market. 
CELERY. 
Celery practically goes out of the market in April. 
The stored crop is then exhausted, and until the earliest 
field product is received, in July, celery is not to be had. 
There should be some means of supplying the demand 
in May and June. Some three or four years ago, we 
turned our attention to this problem, and we now feel 
that it is a comparatively easy matter to grow celery for 
late spring and early summer use. 
We sow the seed in late fall or early winter, in flats
