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 soi t 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.

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 hot-beds. Rightly managed, their culture is very profitable. To 

 obtain early salad it is a good plan to sow with Water Cress Seed a strip 4 

 inches wide on the upper margin of the hot-bed, inside the frame, where it 

 is always cool. PKts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 25c, 1/4 Lb. 75c. Lb. $2.50.
