Culture. — One ounce will produce 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 rolling 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. " Cultivate 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." 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 protecting is by covering the tops of the banks with 

 water-proof felt paper.

 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 against the plant in 

 position, the work of blanching is completed. PKts. 5c and 10c.

LARGE GERMAN CORN SALAD 



Culture. — Sow curled or pepper grass thickly, in shallow drills, every two or 

 three weeks. It should be cut often, and it will continue to grow. It is useful 

 not only for salad, but for the breakfast table and for garnishing. 



520. True Water Cress. — Should be sown in damp soil; or if a stream of 

 water can be utilized, they would be much finer. They will also thrive well in 

 damp hotbeds. Rightly managed, their culture is very profitable. To obtain 

 early salad it is a good plan to sow with Water-Cress seed a strip four inches 

 wide on the outer margin of a hotbed, inside the frame, where it is 

 always cool. PKt. 5c and 10. Oz. 25c. 1/4 Lb. 75c. Lb. $2.75.
