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 14 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 mostkhy grown under 
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, just where it ph =

EW ROSE RIBBED PARIS SELF-BLANCHING. — The most 
b€autiful 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, 5 cents; 
| ougice, 20 cents; 14 pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00. 
HE SCHUMACHER.—A splendid new strain now popular among 
narket 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, $2.00.
