 One ounce of seed for 2.000 plants. 

 Sow in the open ground as soon as it is fit to work in April. In June and July transplant in rows three feet apart for the dwarf 

 varieties, and four to five feet for the larger sorts, and set six inches apart in rows. About the middle of August it is necess arv to 

 begin "earthing up," or '-boarding up," necessary for the proper blanching:. In the first instance, the plants can be hilled up with 

 a hoe or similar tool; or those who have large amounts, a horse celery hiller will be found profitable. Don't let the earth enter th^ 

 heart of the celery, that is the light leaves in the centre, for they are apt to rust. To prevent this, go over the plants after thev are 

 '•hilled up'' and shake the dirt out. In "boarding up" it is only necessary to stand a board, of the required height, each side of th~ 

 row, on its edge, and held in position at the ends by braces or stakes. "When thoroughly blanched your plants are ready to be du" and 

 are now ready for market or to be stored away. The following is a simple method : Set plants as closely together as"the bunches of 

 roots will permit, upon and partially in a layer of moist muck or loam in a corner of the cellar. Keep the layer alwavs moist or wet 

 and the foliage always dry. Use the plants that are most nearly blanched first, saving those which had the least done to them in 

 the field for the last. Instead of putting them directly upon the cellar bottom, you may place them in a bos of convenient size hav- 

 ing a muck or loam in the bottom. Just above this layer bore a few holes into the sides of the bos, and through these vou mavapplv 

 water as needed. The above is but one of the many ways in which Celery can be handled, but is so simple, that all can have 

 success in growing Celery. 



IMPROVED GOLDEX HEART— (See, Cut.)— One of the 

 best of all for family and market use ; the quality is grand and 

 fully equal to the original stock of "Golden Heart." In habit of 

 growth it is considerably better than its parent variety. The 

 stalks are very thick, perfectly solid and of escellent flavor, and 

 another valuable requisite is its excellent keeping quality. In 

 this respect it is the best Celery for winter storage. For market 

 or for the private planting vou will find it an indispensable va- 

 riety. Pkt. 4c. oz. 15c.. J^lb. 50c, % lb. 90c. lb. £1.60.

 ING — (See Cut,)— The introduction of

 in blanching being very little. This 

 strain is no doubt to-day the finest in 



cultivation for the home garden. Its rich golden yellow color, its 

 close habit and compact growth and more than all the readiness 

 with which it is blanched and rendered marketable make it

 by tying or by drawing the soil up against the plant and pressing

 tional, tjsoublesome process of "banking up or hilling up." Its 

 other qualities are equal to the very best of varieties. "being crisp
