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 covers!. 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 tedler 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 be- 

 ginning of September. After the soil has been drawn up with the hi e. 

 it is drawn around each plant by hand to keep the leaves firm in up- 

 right 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, bring- 

 ing the earth nearly up to the tops of the plants. The method empIoy«l 

 now for protecting it is by covering the tops of the banks with water- 

 proof felt paper.

 get outside figures for it, and he will sell quickly all you can ship. Try 

 our stock: YOUR PRAISES will be louder than ours. Perfect, solid, 

 crisp, vigorous stalks; thrifty, compact growth, self-blanching to a very

 golden-yellow color. It never becomes stringy or pethy. To fully ap- 

 preciate its beauty and attractions, it must be seen. Many customers
