Sow in early spring; transplant the seedlings in May. They will be ready for cooking

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

 is practically impossible. The roots have almost the same flavor as white celery stalks, 

 while the} - keep much longer than celery. An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants.

CORN, Sweet or Sugar 



(»««) 



This 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 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 to 4 feet apart each way, five or six kernels to a hill; or in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, scattering the seeds thinly in the rows. The 

 taller-growing the variety, the richer should be the soil and the wider the space allowed for development. One quart will plant 200 hills. 

 If to be sent by mail, add 10 cents per quart for postage. 10-cent packets of all kinds sent postpaid
