PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—VEGETABLE SEEDS. 29 
«_CELERY.—(Continued.)—Red Varieties._* 
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 deli- 
cate tracing of carmine blending with the white in the blanchedstalks. They are also 
hardier and keep better through the winter. The following is a list of the best varieties :

1 gt. for 200 hills ; 8 to 10 gts. in hills for an acre. 
Allvarieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either sown in rows four and one-half feet apart, and the seeds placed NS 
about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in hills at distances of three or four feet each way, according 
to the variety grown or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. The taller the variety, or the richer the 
soil, the greater should be the distance apart. We make our first plantings in this vicinity about the middle of 
May, and continue successive plantings every two or three weeks until the last week in July. In more southerly 
latitudes planting is begun a month earlier and continued a month later.
