COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



CELERY. 



Ger. Selleric. Ft. Celeri. 

 One ounce ivill produce 4,000 plan/s. 



This is one of the best, if not the finest, of 

 salad plants. Although largely grown at the 

 present time, still its production should be 

 greatly increased. It may be grown in any gar- 

 den with very little labor. Sow seed during 

 March or April in hot-bed, or in a box in the 

 house, or in the open ground in moist, rich soil. 

 When sowr in the open ground it vegetatea 

 slowly. When the plants are four to six inches 

 high, transplant in rows three feet apart and 

 six inches apart in the rows. Earth up to blanch 

 three or four times during their growth, taking 

 care that no earth falls in the center of the 

 plant. Take up the plants late in the fall, just 

 before winter sets in, and remove to the cellar 

 and cover with sand or earth, for future use.

NEW PINK PLUME. The stalks of this mag- 

 nificent new Celery are of clear, creamy white, 

 shaded with a beautiful delicate pink. In 

 flavor, it is sweeter than any other red Celery, 

 having a stronger "Celery" flavor, and pre- 

 ferred by Celery lovers wherever known. The 

 foliage is white, serrated like the White 

 Plume, and the plants bleach naturally. It has 

 the long keeping qualities for which the red 

 Celeries are noticeable, and the faint tint of 

 pink makes it wonderfully attractive for table 

 use. It has no tendency to rust, and owing to 

 its white tops matures and blanches as early as 

 the fqrno'm White t'turne.
