German, Sellerie. French, Celerl. 

 1 oz. to 8,000 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 -u'as 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 be- 

 gin, and continue as long as the plants 

 grow, to bleach the stems and render them 

 crisp. 

 AVhite 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 or thin stalks will 



turn •white and crisp. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 



/ % lb. 60c; 1 lb $2.00 



kAxOlden Self-Blanching (Paris Golden Tel- 

 V low) — Like the White Plume, this Cel- 

 ery requires very little earthing up, and 



in many other respects it is similar to 



that favorite sort, differing, ho'wever, in 



color, which is yellowish, the heart be- 

 ing large and solid and of a beautiful 



golden hue. The Seed ■we offer of this 



variety, is tlie originator's best French 



grown stock. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; M lb. 



$1.00; 1 lb $3.50 



, Perfection Heartivell — An excellent, large. 

 V solid-growing variety of creamy white
