Bolgiano's Sweet Hearts Celery. 



DELICIOUS, crisp Celery-hearts will be scarce no more, when the 

 up-to-date Celery growers learn of our Sweet Hearts Celery. Each 

 fine, large, solid stalk has many tender golden hearts. This won- 

 derful new Celery was first found as a sport in our New "Victory Celery. 

 For several years we carefully watched this new development, and have 

 found by many experiments that not only does many deliciously sweet 

 ■hearts always appear, but that as a T\'inter Celery it Is unequaled by 

 any other kind. Solid as our famous stock of Self-Blanching Celery, 

 nutty in flavor, beautiful in appearance, and when j'our customers find 

 many Sweet Hearts in each stalk of Celery, you will be unable to sup- 

 ply the demand. It is so solid it will keep until early Spring. "With a 

 limited supply, we hardly have enough to go around: so order early, 

 then you will not be disappointed. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 35c.

CULTURE OF CELERY. 



SWEET HEARTS CELERY. 



SOW the last of March or early in April, in an open border. In rich 

 mellow ground, in shallow drills, watering freely in dry weather. 

 By rolling or pressing in the seed the result will be more satisfac- 

 tory than when only covered. Cut the tops off once or twice before 

 planting out, to make them stocky. "R^hen the plants are 5 or 6 inches 

 high, transplant the dwarf varieties 3 feet and the taller sorts 4 feet 

 between the rows; plant 6 inches apart in the rows. Cultivate well, and 

 when large enough blanch by earthing up. The first operation is that 

 of " handling," generally done the beginning of September. After the 

 soil has been drawn up with the hoe, it Is drawn closer around each 

 plant by the hand to keep the leaves firm in an upright position and 

 prevent spreading. TVhen the plants have become " set " In an upright 

 position, and the Celery is wanted for early use, they should be 

 "banked." This is done by throwing the soil up as close to the plants as 

 possible with a plow and finishing it with a spade, bringing the earth 

 up nearly to the tops of the plants. The method employed now for pro- 

 tecting Is by covering the tops of the banks with waterproof felt paper.
