CELERY. 
Celery seed is slow 
to germinate, and am- 
ple time must be 
given. Sow thinly and 
cover lightly. Keep 
constantly moist. 
Count on about 7,500 
plants per ounce of 
seed, or 4 pound per @ 
acre. When the seed- SS \

INS 
=) 
ling plants are three 
inches high they 
should be clipped at 
the top, to favor 
stocky growth, or else 
transplanted. Celery 
is mostly grown under 
flat culture, without 
trenches, in rows three 
to five feet apart. For 
home use celery is 
often grown in double 
rows, 10 inches apart, 
without ‘trenching, 
and banked for winter 
storage just where it 
grows, without lifting.

WINTER QUEEN.—Probably the most desirable winter celery 
ever introduced, keeping until March, April and even May if desired. 
It is short, stout, thick and heavy, with double the amount of heart of 
any other celery, a habit of growth which gives it truly remarkable 
value. The leaves blanch to beautiful creamy white, and are firm 
and solid. The flavor is sweet, nutty and delicious, leaving nothing to 
be desired. It bunches up handsomely, and presents an attractive 
appearance on the market stall. Winter Queen is a close compact 
grower, and will prove to bea garden favorite. It is a dwarf or half- 
dwarf celery, of about the same size as Golden Self-Blanching. It has, 
in fact, many of the traits of a 
the Golden Self-Blanching, 
but is of a deep green color, 
and far better keeper. Pkt., 
10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; 14 Ib., 
$1.00; 1b., $3.00.

a good appearance, and is 
erisp, tender and fine fla- 
vored. It is a good and reli-
