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

 plan, 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 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 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 

 jSiem crisp. 



$Vhite 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; % lb. 60c; 1 lb ' $2.25 



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 be-
