Liosig- UedL without core. A new variety from France, which is of 

 cylindrical shape, very smooth, bright scarlet color and of fine flavor, 

 has no heart or core. It i^ not quite so early as the Half Long, but 

 more productive. Consider it a first-class variety for the table, and 

 one that will come into general cultivation when better known. 



St. Valerie. A new variety from France bright red in color ; a 

 little larger than the Half Long French, and stronger in leaves.

Sow in May and June for 

 early transplanting, and in 

 August and September for a 

 later crop. Sow thinly and 

 shade during the hot months. 

 Transplant when the plants 

 are six inches high, . into 

 trenches about four inches 

 deep, nine wide and two and 

 a half feet apart, made very 

 rich try digging in rotten man- 

 ure. Plants should be from 

 six to eight inches apart. 

 When planted out during the 

 hot months, the trenches re- 

 quire to be shaded, which is 

 generally done by spreading 

 cotton cloth over them ; lan- 

 tanias will answer the same 

 purpose. Celery requires plen- 

 ty of moisture, and watering 

 with soapsuds, or liquid man- 

 ure will benefit the plants a 

 great deal, W^hen tall enough 

 it should be earthed up to 

 blanch to mxake it fit for the 

 table. 



Las'ge White Solid, is 

 the variety mostly grown; it 

 is white, solid and crisp. 



1 Incomparable I>warf 

 l^VIiBte, or Boston Mar- 



ket, is short but earlier than the foregoing. It blanches very readily, 

 sown by the market gardeners for late use, as it does not shoot into 

 seed so quickly as the tall kinds.
