 lani rrague. mooted Celery has been known 

 in the United States for over 100 years, and the 

 variety Giant Prague is a very old one, Johnson 

 & Stokes having listed it prior to 1885. The roots 

 are globular in shape, comparatively smooth and 

 of the best quality, averaging about 23^ inches 

 in diameter. Celeriac is a most desirable vege- 

 table, and deserves wider recognition by the 

 planters, home-garden as well as commercial. It 

 should receive about the same culture as celery, 

 being planted in rows 2 feet apart and about 6 

 inches apart in the row. When the roots attain a 

 size of from 2 to 23^ inches in diameter, they are 

 ready for use. Giant Prague will be found a good 

 keeper if properly packed underground or in a 

 dry cellar. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., Vi^b.
