CELERIAC, or TURN IP-ROOTED 

 CELERY. 



(Snellen ©etterie.) 



The seed should be sown in early spring, in light, rich soil, the seedlings trans- 

 planted in May, and watered freely in dry weather. They will be ready for cooking in 

 October, and may be preserved for use during winter in dry sand. Celeriac is said to 

 be as fine a nerve tonic as celery, and can be grown in many sections where celery cul- 

 ture is practically impossible. The roots have almost the same flavor as the crispest 

 white celery stalks, and do not require half so much care in banking, while they keep 

 perfectly with no more care than a crop of turnips — much longer than celery stalks will. 

 An cince of seed will produce about 5,000 plants. 



■PRAGUE GIANT. The roots of this variety are very large and smooth, with no side roots, and sell better in market than those of 

 almost any other sort offered. When young they are quite tender and marrow-like, having a very fine flavor, and cooking quickly. 

 Pkt . 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., Klb. 80 cts. 



»- A APPLE-SHAPED. Small, round leaves and apple-shaped roots, of good flavor ; early in maturing ; smooth, and smaller than the 



( above, but quite as nutty and palatable ; fine for flavoring. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., Klb. 80 cts. 



Prague Giant Celeriac. 



CORIST SALAD, or FETTICUS. 



!/ (Sammer ©alat.) 



The leaves are used during winter and spring as a salad. Sow the seed thickly in shallow drills in September, and firm the soil well 

 down above it, if the weather be dry. The plants will requite no culture beyond keeping them free from weeds ; in northern climates 

 they should be given a light covering of straw in winter. The richer the soil the finer the flavor of the leaves. In some sections of country 

 this salad is highly appreciated, and it ismuch grown for use where other salads or lettuces cannot be cultivated with success. An ounce 

 of seed will sow a bed 20 feet square. 



LARGE-SEEDED. The variety now most generally cultivated. Pkt. 5 cts,, oz. 10 cts., 

 Klb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts. 



Corn, Sweet or Sugar. 



(2Rai&.) 



HIS delicious vegetable may be enjoyed from early summer until frost if the 

 proper varieties are selected and planted for succession at intervals of every 

 two weeks from May until the middle of July. If the seed is planted too early, 

 before the ground becomes warm, it is liable to decay. Plant in hills 3 or 

 4 feet apart each way, 5 or 6 kernels to a hill ; or, in rows 4 or 5 feet apart, 

 scattering the seeds thinly in the rows. The taller-growing the variety, the 

 richer shou'd be the soil and the wider the space allowed for development. 

 All Sweet Corn, 5 cents per packet, postpaid. Add ro cents per quart 

 on Corn, if to be sent by mail.
