Although a few gardeners continue to cultivate this vegetable on 

 the old plan, its cultivation has undergone a great change 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 3 feet apart, not trenches, as was formerly 

 the custom. Set the plants in these rows, about 4 inches apart. Until 

 about the middle of August the only work to be done is frequent culti- 

 vation 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 superior 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 and stalks will turn white and crisp. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 



Vi lb. 60c; 1 lb $2.10 



Golden Self-Blanching (Paris Golden Yellow) — Like White Plume, 

 this Celery requires very little earthing up and in many other 

 respects it is similar to it, differing, however, in color, which 

 is yellowish, the heart being large and solid and of a beauti- 

 ful golden hue. The Seed we offer is the originator's best 



French grown stock. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Vi lb. $1.00; 1 lb $3.50
