Culture. One ounce will produce about twenty-five hundred plants and sow about two hundred feet of 
row. Sow the last of March or early in April, in an open border, in rich, mellow ground in shallow drills, 
watering freely in dry weather. By rolling or pressing in the seed, the result will be more satisfactory than 
when only covered. Cut the tops off once or twice before planting out, to make them stocky. When the 
plants are 5 or 6 inches high, transplant the dwarf varieties 3 feet and the taller sort 4 feet between the 
rows ; plant 6 inches apart in the rows. Cultivate well and when large enough, blanch by earthing up. The } 
first operation is that of “‘ handling,’’ generally done by the beginning of September. After the soil has been 
drawn up with the hoe, it is drawn around each plant by hand to keep the leaves firm in upright position 
and prevent spreading. When plants have become “ set’’ in an upright position and the Celery is wanted 
for early use, they should be ‘‘ banked.’’ This is done by throwing the soil up as close to the plants as 
possible with a plow and finishing it with a spade, bringing the earth nearly up to the tops of the plants. 
The method employed now for protecting it is by covering the tops of the banks with waterproof felt paper. 
71 Bolgiano’s French Golden Self-Blanching Celery 
It is an excellent keeper, stands shipment better than any other sort and brings the 
highest market prices. It is a vigorous dwarf grower, compact in growth and self-blanch- 
ing to a very remarkable degree; even the ribs become a handsome, fresh, clean, yellow 
color, with a heart that is large and solid and of a beautiful, rich, golden yellow color. — 
It is quite early and easy to cultivate. In the home garden it produces golden yellow 
stalks very early, which are crisp, tender and nutty in flavor. It will keep in good condi- 
tion until Christmas or New Year’s. Our stock is grown especially for us by the originator 
in France.

a single item of interest in the growing and 
dev eloping of seeds that we pass by without

ducing the Giant French Celeriac. Many thought
