CELEEUAO. 125 



garden, where a variety may be wanted, plant a few 

 of the 



DwAEF Crimson. — In habits of growth it is very 

 similar to the other dwarf kinds, only differing in 

 color. The hearts are crisp, solid, and of a dark 

 crimson color. 



For family use, one thousand plants will keep 

 the table well supplied during the Fall and Winter. 

 No garden should be considered complete without 

 a supply of Celery. One ounce of fresh seed will 

 give five to six thousand plants. A couple of small 

 packages of seed, costing twelve cents, will furnish 

 plants enough — if they are taken care of — to stock 

 the kitchen-garden. 



Growing the plants for sale is a large branch of 

 business in some sections. Tliey are usually worth 

 from three to five dollars per thousand in lots of 

 from five to ten thousand. 



Celeeiac. — Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted Celery, is 

 now cultivated to a considerable extent by some 

 market-gardeners. It is used principally by Ger- 

 mans, who boil and slice the root and then make it 

 into a Salad. 



The seed should be sown at the same time and 

 be treated in the same manner as Celery-seed. When 

 transplanted into the open ground, the rows may be 

 marked two feet apart, and the plants set six inches 

 apart in the row. It requires no earthing-up, and on 

 this account, if there Avas sufiicient demand for it, 

 Celeriac would be more profitable to grow than 

 Celery, as it usually brings the same price in mar- 

 ket.
