CELERY 
Fr. Celeri. 
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 
liberal sprinkling of coarse salt worked into it. and this mixture should be put in the trenches, working it well into the 
soil, at least two weeks before the plants are transplanted into them. It delights, however, in low. moist, rich bottom 
land, or well-drained muck soil. Sow the seed in a hot-bed or cold frame, or in the open ground, as soon as fit to work 
in the spring. Prepare the soil well and cover seed very shallow, firming the soil well after sowing, also keep quite moist 
until the seed germinates. To insure stalky plants, cut back to within two inches of the crown when 4 inches hiph. 
Transplanting of the early sorts should be done about Ist June. Set plants in a single row. six inches apart, cither on the level surface or in a shallow trench, giving 
them a good watering. The rows should be 3 feet apart where boards are to be used for blanching, or four feet where soil is used. One ounce of seed produces about 
3.000 plants. Plenty of seed should be used so that the best plants may be selected for transplanting.

and very compact; color a rich golden yellow. In quality it is unex-

origin, and we have obtained oiu* supplies from the same celebrated 
French grower for many years. Oz. $1.80; K o^- SOc; 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 fiavor and crisp tenderness captivate the most fastidious appe- 
tite. K lb. $2.00; oz. 75c.; pkt. 10c.

INVINCIBLE RED

Variety 
We can with confidence re- 
commend this Celery to com- 
petitors. It is a strong-growing 
sort, very crisp, solid, and well- 
flavoured, and not liable to run 
to seed. It is the favourite sort 
for exhibition. It is invariably 
the winning sort when well 
grown. Pkt. 25c. 
WINTER QUEEN 
This is the finest dwarf winter 
Celery, being quite similar to 
the Golden Self-Planching, 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 appearance when 
bunched. }i lb. $2.00; oz. 75c.; 
P*'*' *0c. EWING'S SELECT PARIS GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY 
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. }>i lb. $2.00; oz. 75c.; pkt. 10c. 
ROSE-RIBBED PARIS SELF-BLANCHING or GOLDEN ROSE— A variety selected from the Paris Golden YeUow. of 
which it possesses all the good qualities, differing only in the rose color of the ribs. It is a good keeper and of superior qual- 
ity. Oz. $1.50; pkt. 15c. 
CELERIAC for 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 ts highly esteemed for boiling or for flavoring soups, stews and 
other dishes. The plants should be started in the same manner as other Celeries, 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 arc produced 
entirely below the surface, plants do not need earthing up. The flavor of roots is distinct and might be described as a com- 
bination of the Celery and Parsley flavors. \i lb. $1.75; oz. 60c.; pkt. 10c.
