CULTURE — For spring and summer -sow in late February, March or early April, in. 

 hotbeds, transplanting to cold frames when of a sufficient size, then to the open 

 ground when frost is over, though a light frost will not hurt them. The soil 

 should be richer than for cabbage. Persian insect powder will keep free from 

 worms. Sow and treat as for cabbage. By giving a liberal supply of water and 

 planting to mature in early summer or late fall, the heads will be much improved. 

 It is also well to cover the heads with the leaves to insure their whiteness. Cut 

 while the curd is hard, to keep from being bitter. The seeds can be sown in Sep- 

 tember the same as cabbage, and wintered o ver in the same manner.

SOME CHOICE CELERIES. Fiench-Celen 



German — Sellerie. 

 Swedish — Sellei'i. 



Spanish — Apis. 



CULTURE — Sow this slowly germinating seed in a shallow box or in straight rows in a finely 



IJi-epared bed. See that the seeds are kept 

 almost wet and only lightly covered until 

 they germinate. Thin and transplant 

 when about two inches high, so that 

 when about 4 inches high the tops may 

 be cut off, the plants standing about 3 

 inches apart. Bj' cutting it makes the plants grow 

 stocky. A good soil and plenty of water are essential 

 to success. Set out about the middle of June or July, 

 but good plants may be had by setting out as late 

 as August. In setting, prepare broad shallow trenches 

 about 6 inches deep and 4 feet apart, in which the 

 plants should be set 6 inches apart .cutting ofi" the outer 

 ■leaves and pressing the soil firmlj- about the roots. 

 Bar th up a little during the summer, keeping the leaf 

 stocks near together, so that the soil cannot get be- 

 tween them. Finish earthing up in the autumn, and 

 never hoe or earth up in moist weather or w^hen the 

 plants are moistened with dew. To preserve celery for 

 winter, dig trenches a foot in width and as deep as the 

 top of the plants. Stand the celery in these, erect as 

 the3' grew, with what dirt adheres" to the roots, pack- 

 ing closely, but not crowding. After the trench is filled it 

 should be covered with straw or leaves as a protection from 

 the frost. Do not cover until the weather becomes quite cold, 

 and then only a little at a time as the cold becomes greater. 

 Celery will bear a good deal of frost. The trench must have 

 good drainage.

EUREKA— (See Cut.) Of dwarf, compact growth, producing 

 most beautiful stocks which retain their tenderness and crisp- 

 ness for a very long period. A perfect self-blanching variety.

 much to their attractiveness and makes the work of blanching much easier. The handsome color, 

 crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness and fine nut like flavor of this variety make it only* 

 necessarj^ to be tried in order to establish it as the standard of excellence as an early sort. Pkt. loc,
