CELERY (Continued)_RED WARIETIES. 
Our sales of seeds and plants of the Rose and Red Celeries are steadily increasing 
as people are beginning to know that they are unquestionably better in quality, 
having a much finer flavor and more solid and crisp. They are equally ornamental 
‘on the table, the delicate tracing of carmine blending with the white in the 
blanched stalks. They are also hardier and keep better through the winter. The 
following is a list of the best varieties : 
*HENDERSON’S NEW ROSE CELERY. Without doubt the finest of its class, 
possessing all the qualities which go to make up a first-class Celery. The 
color is a beautiful shade of rose, of exceptionally fine flavor, solid, crisp and 
entirely free from stringiness. A splendid variety for late use, keeping well.

1 oz. for 50 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. in hills for an acre. 
Cucumbers succeed best in warm, rich, sandy loam. They should not be 
planted in the open air until there is a prospect of settled warm weather, in the 
vicinity of New York about the middle of May. Plant in hills about four feet apart 
each way. The hills should be previously prepared by mixing thoroughly with 
the soil of each a shovelful of well rotted manure. When all danger from insects 
is passed thin out the plants, leaving three or four of the strongest to each hill. The 
fruit should be gathered when large enough, whether required for use or not, as, if 
left to ripen on the vines, it destroys their productiveness.

the rate of 8 cts. per lb.
