EVAN'S TRIUMPH. 



GOLDEN DWAbF. 



1 oz. to 3,000 plants; % lb. to the acre. 



Although a few gardeners continue to cultivate this vegetable on the old 

 plan, the only one practiced years ago, its cultivation has undergone a great 

 reformation of late years. Very little of the seed is now sown in hot-beds, 

 but instead is sown in a cold-frame, or even out in the open air, early in April, 

 and in June and July is transplanted where 

 It is intended to mature. On the surface 

 of the ground, thoroughly enriched and 

 cultivated beforehand, lay out lines three 

 feet apart, not trenches, as was formerly 

 the custom. Set' the plants in these rows, 

 about 5 inches apart. Until about the 

 middle of August the only 'work to be done 

 is frequent cultivation and watering in dry 

 weather. Earthing up may then begin and 

 continue as long as the plants grow, to 

 bleach the stems and render them crisp. 

 White Plume (Perfected) — A very su- 

 perior stock. Unlike most varieties, 

 this one does not require to be 

 earthed up, but if only loosely tied, 

 a few handfuls of earth brought close 

 around the base of the leaves to keep 

 them close together, all the inner 

 leaves or thin stalks will turn white 

 and crisp. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; 



1 lb $2.00

 Yellow) — Like the White Plume, this 

 Celery requires very little earthing 

 lllli ttSBP® -~ up and in manv other respects it is

ing, however, in color, which is yel- 

 lowish, the heart being large and 

 solid and of a beautiful golden hue.
