CELERY. 
Celery seed is slow 
to germinate, and am- 
ple time must be 
given. Sowthinly and 
cover lightly. Keep 
constantly moist. 
Count on about 7,500 
plants per ounce of 
seed, or 144 pound per 
acre. When the seed- 
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 4 
flat culture, without \ 
trenches, inrows 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 j i 5 z : a 
crows without lifting, NEW ROSE RIBBED PARIS SELF-BLANCHING. 
NEW ROSE RIBBED PARIS SELF-BLANCHING. — The most 
beautiful of all pink celeries. A sport of the celebrated Golden Self- 
Blanching, and equal to that variety in all respects. It has the light 
golden yellow color of its parent, and blanches with the same ease 
differing only in the bright rose ribs. A good keeper. Height, 15 to 18 
inches. One of the most truly desirable of the new celeries, especially 
for domestic use, as it is one of the most ornamental things ever put 
on the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. Packet, 10 cents; 
ounce, 80 cents; 4 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00. 
THE SCHUMACHER.—A splendid new strain now popular among 
market gardeners. The leaf stalks are very large, solid and crisp, and 
the beautiful golden-yellow heart is composed of firm young leaves of 
first-rate flavor. It isa good winter keeper. I recommend it highly to 
those who prefer a rather large celery. The Schumacher is a strong- 
growing Strain of great purity, and I find that such celeries are almost 
wholly free from rust or other disease. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 
14 pound, 60 cents; pound, $2. / y

WINTER QUEEN.— 
Probably the most desirable 
winter celery ever intro- 
duced, keeping until March, 
April and even May, if de- 
sired. 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 de- 
sired. It bunches up hand- 
somely, and presents an 
attractive appearance on the 
market stall. Winter Queen 
is a close compact grower, 
and will prove to be a 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 the Il} 
Golden Self-Blanching, but is 4 
of a deep green color, and far 
better keeper. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 
80c.; 14 1b., $1.00; 1b., $3.00.
