DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 11 



be so secured, and the tops of the beds so covered as to keep out all 

 frost, giving them light and air every mild day throughout the winter. 

 Transplant in April into a bed of the richest earth, in the garden, at a 

 distance of two feet and a half each way. Keep them well hoed, and 

 bring the earth gradually up to their stems. The late variety matures 

 in the autumn, and is sown and managed similarly to Cape Broccoli, 

 but not so certain to succeed in this climate. 



CELERY. 



25 cts. per oz. 



Celeri, Fr. Appio Horiense, Span. Sellerie, Ger. 



Dreer's White Solid. Cole's Crystal "White. 



Rose Colored Solid. Ivery's Nonsuch, Red. 



Seymour's White Solid. Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted. 



Sow the last of March or early in April, in rich mellow ground, and 

 in a situation where the plants can be protected from the parching heat 

 of a summer sun; in dry weather water freely. When the plants are 

 five or six inches high, transplant a portion in trenches well-manured, 

 and repeat at intervals of two or three weeks for a succession. As they 

 advance in growth, blanch by earthing up, which should be performed 

 gradually in fine weather, taking care not to bury the hearts of the 

 plants. The Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted, may be planted either on level 

 ground or in shallow drills. The root of it swells like a turnip, and 

 may be preserved in sand through the winter.
