CELERIAC, KNOB or 
TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY 
Celeriac is principally grown for its 
delicious turnip-shaped roots, which 
attain the size of a globe beet. They 
can be stored for winter use, and have 
a rich Celery flavor. Boiled and sliced, 
they make a delicious salad. The 
leaves, during the summer, are splen- 
did for flavoring soups. Sow seeds in 
the same manner as for table Celery, 
and transplant as soon as large enough, 
in the open, in rows 1 foot apart, and 
6 inches apart in the row. The soil 
should be rich to obtain large roots. 
Giant Smooth Prague. Very large and 
round ; smooth-skinned. Very few fibrous roots. 
Of excellent flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., Hoz. 30 cts., 
oz. 50 cts., Mlb. $1.75. 
CHERVIL 
Extra-Curled. Beautifully curled leaves, resem- 
bling parsley, but larger. It constitutes the basis of 
the French mixture known as "finest herbs," the ac- 
companiment to a great number of dishes and salads. 
Leaves are also employed for garnishing. Pkt. 25 cts., 
oz. $1. 
CHICORY 
Wit I oof, or French Endive. ™ s d j 
licious salad served in first-class restaurants under 
the name of "French Endive," quantities of which 
are imported every year from Europe. Perhaps 
Celeriac 
very few know how easily this vegetable can be 
grown in a home-garden. Sow the seed during May, 
in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and cover with about 
34 inch of soil; when large enough, thin out to 6 inches 
apart in the row. In late autumn, lift the roots 
carefully, cut off the leaves about Yi inch from the 
crown, and store in the cellar in sand or dry soil. 
After one month's rest, they are ready for forcing. 
Plant thickly in a deep box in the cellar or in a dark 
place where it is warm. They will soon begin to 
send forth new leaves which, grown in the dark, are 
snowy white, crisp, and of finest flavor — a great 
treat for the winter months. A continuous supply 
can be had by planting a dozen or more roots at a 
time. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 75 cts.
