V BOLGIANO'S NEW VICTORY 



BOLGIANO'S "NEW VICTORY CELERY."— We so name this grand 

 Celery because it truly stands victorious over all. It has a great amount of 

 heart, is heavier, stouter, and thicker than all its rivals. It is the most 

 economical Celery yet introduced, every particle being solid, crisp and of a 

 delicious nutty flavor. Its beautiful, large, golden heart and compact 

 growth make an ornament hard to surpass. It is a remarkable keeper, 

 maintaining its firmness as late as May. Critical market gardeners have 

 pronounced it to be of the finest quality, best keeper and most salable 

 Celery ■ they have ever raised. It is ready for market by December.

CULTURE OF 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 

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

 before planting out, to make them stockv. When the plants are 

 5 or 6 inches high, transplant the dwarf varieties 3 feet and the 

 taller sortS4 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 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 waterproof felt paper.
