CULTURE.—Celery seed is slow to germinate, and ample time must be given. Sow thinly in early spring and cover lightly. Keep constantly | 
moist. Count on about 400 plants to a packet of seed, about 7,500 plants per ounce or quarter pound per acre. When the seedling plants are 3 
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 4 feet apart, 6 inches apart inrow. For home use celery is often grown in double rows, 10 inches apart, and plants 6 inches apart | 
in each row, allowing 4 feet of space before setting out another double row. This will permit soil for banking for winter storage without lifting. ‘ 
Ready for use in 110 to 140 days. \

° A SECOND

This is a valuable celery to follow Golden Self- 
Blaneching. Stored at the same time it will be 
ready just as soon as the Golden Seli-Blanching is 
gone. The stalks are broad and thick, almost 
round, solid and of the highest quality, and very 
attractive in appearance. The foliage is of a dis- 
tinet light shade of green with a tinge of yellow. 
The plant isof medium height, which matures in 
115 days, blanches easily and is a good winter 
keeper for home or market.
