CULTURE— Celery requires water and lots of it. from the time the seed is sown in boxes in March until it is pulled 
in the autumn. Celery can be successfully grown in any good garden soil, by using plenty of well-rotted manure with a 
Ubeml sprSng of coarse salt worked into it. and this mixture should be put m the trenches, workmg .t "^11 mto the 
soil, at least two weeks before the plants are transplanted into them. It del.ghts. however, m low .^ottom

in the spring. Prepare the soil well and cover seed very shallow, firmmg the soil well after sowmg. also keep quite moist

Transplanting of the early sorts should be done about 1st June. Set plants in a single row. six inches apart either on th^^ 
them a ISod wateiHng. The rows should be 3 feet apart where boards are to be used for blanching, or four feet where soil is used 
3.000 plants. Plenty of seed should be used so that the best plants may be selected for transplanting. 
EWING'S SELECT PARIS 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 
This variety is without exception the best early Celery in cultiva- 
tion It is of dwarf habit and very stocky; stalks uniform m height 
and very compact: color a rich golden yellow. In iiuality it is unex- 
celled, being solid, tender, crisp, and rich in flavor. It is of French 
origin and we have obtained our supplies from the same celebrated 
French grower for many years. Oz. $1.80; )i oz. 60c.; pkt. 25c. 
PERFECTED WHITE PLUME 
This is the oldest of the self-blanching sorts, and is still immensely 
popular. It is by far the most attractive of all in appearance, and 
grows so easily that it should find a place in every garden. Under 
ordinary conditions, and if started early it may be ready to blanch 
early in September, and be fit for use a few days later. Its slim, deli- 
cately brittle stalks, surmounted with their graceful, ornamental 
foliage, are unsurpassed from a decorative standpoint, while its deli- 
cious flavor and crisp tenderness captivate the most fastidious appe- 
tite. H lb. $1.75; oz. 60c.; pkt. 10c. 
DOBBIE'S INVINCIBLE WHITE— This White Celery has become 
immensely popular. It will be found in all respects one of the 
best varieties either for competition or culinary use. _ It can be 
grown for exhibition to an enormous size without running to seed 
and without losing its fine qualities. Certificated at the Vegetable 
Conference of the Royal Horticultural Society. Pkt. 25c. 
WINTER QUEEN— This is 
the finest dwarf winter Cel- 
ery, being quite similar to the 
Golden Self-Blanching, but of 
a rich green coloring like the 
Giant Pascal . It is more 
readily blanched than the 
latter and ready for use or 
market much earlier in the 
fall. The plants make large 
bunches of extra-heavy stalks 
with very large hearts; the 
stalks are all of even length, 
and of a most handsome ap- 
fiearance when bunched. 
b. $1.50; oz. 50c. ; pkt. 10c. 
DOBBIE'S SELECTED RED 
— We can with confidence 
recommend this Celery to 
competitors. It is a strong- 
growing sort, very crisp, 
solid, and well -flavoured, and 
not liable to run to seed. In 
Scotland it is the favourite 
sort for exhibition, and is very 
generally grown for that pur- 
pose in the North of England 
also. It is invariably the win- 
ning sort when well grown. 
Pkt. 25c. 
GIANT PASCAL— A superior 
keeping sort. The stalks are 
very large, thick, solid, crisp 
and of rich nutty flavor; it 
blanches very easily and 
quickly. H lb. $1.50; oz. 
50c. ; pkt. 10c.

of the ribs. It is a good 
keeper and of superior qual- 
ity. Oz. $1.50; pkt. 15c.

CELERIAC or TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY— This is distinct in growth from the tall Celeries. The edible portion is the 
large, swollen root, which somewhat resembles a turnip, and is highly esteemed for boihng or for flavoring soups, stews and 
other dishes. The plants should be started in the same manner as other Cclenes. and when of sufficient size, transplant to 
stand eight to ten inches apart each way in rich soil, hoeing frequently to promote a strong growth. As roots are produced 
entirely below the surface, plants do not need earthing up. The flavor of roots is distinct and might be descnbed as a com- 
bination of the Celery and Parsley flavors. Ji lb. $1.75; oz. 60c.; pkt. 10c.
