CELERY 



Sclleric, Gek. 



CULTURE.— Sow iu March or beginning of April In drills 8 or 10 Inches apart, in a bed of fine, rich soil, 

 covering to a depth of one-fourth of an inch. If the soil is dry, press the earth with back of spade or 

 roller after covering, and keep clear of weeds, or the .voiini; plants will be smothered out. Transplant from 

 July to September. September plantings succeed excellently, and require less labor than setting out earlier. 

 To prepare a bed for celery, throw out the earth to a depth of (J inches, 4 or 5 feet wide, and put in 3 or 

 4 inches of well-rotted manure, dig in well and cover with lino soil. Set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart, in 

 rows 1 foot apart, press the soil firmly to the roots, and when the plants are large enough, earthing up can be 

 commenced. The plants will need to be earthed up tAvo or three times, and in doing this care should be 

 taken not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When severe cold weather comes on, cover 

 graduallj' with le;A-es, hay or straw, and place boards on top: waterproof felt paper is also used. In such a 

 bed the stalks will blanch perfectly, and may be taken out during the winter for sale or use, as required. 

 In field culture, when the celery is to be earthed up in the field for early use, the plants are set on the sur- 

 face, in rows 4 feet apart, and the plants set 6 inches apart in the row; or, if the plants are to be taken 

 up and blanched in the cellar for winter iise, they may be set in rows as close as 2 feet apart. Celery re- 

 quires frequent cultivation, and the earth drawn up to the plants as rapidl.y as it makes growth. Celeriac, 

 or Turnip-rooted Celery, needs no earthing up, and may be planted in rows 18 inches apart. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY 



SUPERIOR STOCK. FRENCH GROWN. 



Originator's stock. French-grown seed. A 



vigorous-growing and handsome variety, 

 decidedly better in quality than the 

 White Plume, and is larger in size. It 

 is of compact growth, with a large, solid 

 heart, and thick-ribbed stalks, which 

 blanch easily. It is crisp and solid, free 

 from stringiness, and of most delicious 

 flavor. Color, beautiful golden yellow, 

 both stalks and leaves. Largely used by 

 our southern truckers and gardeners. My 

 strain of this variety is unsurpassed.
