Celery Culture.—From middle of April or May seed may be 
sown outdoors, for which purpose select a warm location, and light, 
rich soil. Thin until there is a clear space between the plants. 
When the plants are six inches high draw them, trim tops, place 
them six inches apart in trenches. Shade until they begin to grow, 
and, if dry, water. Trenches should be 3 inches apart, 4 inches deep 
and 9 inches wide. Use plenty of decayed manure. After Septem- 
ber 1st continue to draw on both sides rich pulverized soil to the 
stem at intervals, as the growth of the plants indicates. This should 
not be done during rain or hot weather. Keep soil from the heart 
of the plant. At the end of October bury the whole in dirt, and dig 
up as desired for use. Excellent celery depends largely on careful 
cultivation and continuous growth. It is a rank feeder, sending its 
little tibrous roots two feet from the stalks. If allowed to become 
checked in its continuous growth, the stalk becomes fibrous, loses its 
flavor and becomes hollow. Our most successful celery growers 
overcome this inherent tendency of celery by abundant and long- 
continued watering during protracted droughts. 
Vivo Orange Improved.—One of the most de- 
sirable for either garden or field culture. It grows to a 
large size, fair specimens averaging 12 inches in length 
and 3 inches in diameter at the top. Ali who have cat- 
tle should raise a surplus of this carrot for feeding milch 
“, cows during winter. It increases the flow of milk, and 
®\ imparts to the butter a rich golden color. It is more 
lazgely used than any other variety by market gardeners.
