gardens where celery will not succeed it makes 

 a very good substitute. It is used, cooked, either 

 as a salad or as a vegetable. It is cultivated 

 much as celery is, only it does not require the 

 banking so necessary with that plant. It may, 

 however, be blanched and is said to be very fine 

 that way. Delicatesse is a fine sort with per- 

 fectly smooth root, free from side rootlets, pure 

 white, tender and excellent in quality. Giant 

 Prague is another fine sort. Earliest of All is 

 ready for use in June and is a good sort. 



CHERVILLE 



Resembles parsley and is used for garnishing 

 and for seasoning. Cultivate like parsley, mak- 

 ing the rows a foot apart and thin to six inches. 



COLLARDS 



Grown at the south as greens and as a substi- 

 tute for cabbage. Plant seed in rows, thinning 

 or transplanting to a foot apart in the row. It is 

 improved by a touch of frost.
