 Culture.— One ounce wilKproduce about twenty-five hundred plants and 

 sow about two hundred feet of row. 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 rolUng or pressing in the seed, the result will 

 be more satisfactory than when only covered. Cut the tops off once or 

 twice before planting out, to make them .stocky. When the plants are 5 or 

 6 inches high, transplant the dwarf varieties 3 feet and the taller sort 4 

 feet between the rows; plant 6 Inches apart in the rows. Cuftivate well 

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

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

 the soil has been drawn up with the hoe, it is drawn around each plant by 

 the hand to keep the leaves firm in an upright position and prevent 

 spreading. When the plants have become "set" in an upright position 

 and the Celery is wanted for early use, they should be "banked." Thisis 

 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 protecting is by covering the 

 tops of the banks with water-proof felt paper.

 solid, crisp, vigorous stalks; thrifty, compact growth, handsome, fresh, 

 clean yellowi.sh color, with a heart that is large and solid, of a beautiful

 Celery than this even if you pay $5 or $6 per lb.; for it and you may not get 

 as good. Our stock has proven over and over again to be without an 

 equal. (Specialty, see page 15.) PKt. 5c, and lOc. Oz.'^35c. 

 1/4 Lb. $1.00. 1/4 Lb. $2.00, Lb. $3.50. 



72. Perfected White Plume Celery,— It is most extensively used on 

 account of its extreme earliness. Its stalks and portions of its inner leaves 

 and heart are white naturally. By simply tying the plant together, or by 

 drawing the soil firm against the plant with the hand and repeating 

 the operation to hold the soil already againt the plant in position, the 

 work of blanching is completed. PKts. 5c. and 10c. Oz. 20c. 1/4 Lb. 60c.
