CELERY— continued. 



field culture the plants are set on the surface in rows four feet apart when the Celery is to be earthed up 



in the field for early use, and two feet apart when the 

 plants are to be taken up and blanched in the cellar for 

 winter use. The plants are set six inches apart in rows. 

 If not grown in beds, the best way to store is to dig 

 trenches in a well-drained spot in the open ground, one 

 foot wide, and of a depth a few inches less than the height 

 of the Celery. The plants are then lifted and set close 

 together until the whole quantity is stored. The edges 

 of the trench should be made sloping from the tops of the 

 plants. When severe cold weather comes on, cover 

 gradually with leaves, hay, or straw, and place boards on 

 top. In such a trench the stalks will blanch perfectly, 

 and may be taken out any time during winter for use or 

 sale as required. 



The turnip-rooted, or "Knob" Celery, needs no 

 earthing up, and may be planted in rows one foot apart.

J. M. Thorburn & Co. : 



Drar Sirs— I am so well pleased with the Carman No. 1 Potatoes I purchased of you last spring, that I must write and let you 

 know how they succeeded. I planted one bushel, one-third of which rotted in the ground during the wet spell in spring. I gave 

 them common field culture, and in fall I dug 95 bushels of nice Potatoes. Yours truly, E. B. Edwards. 



Ogdensburg, N. Y., Nov. i, 1894.
