CELERY. 
Culture.— Sow seeds in a hot-bed or in a coltE 
frame. As soon as the plants are three inches high 
transplant to a nicely prepared bed in the tiordcr, 
setting them four or five inches apart. When eight 
inches high, and fine stocky plants, set them in the 
trenches. Earth up a little during the summer, 
keeping the leaf stalks near together, so that the 
soil cannot get between them. Finish earthing up 
in the autumn, and never hoe or earth up in moist 
weather, nor \vhen the plants are moistened with 
dew. 
To prcser\-e Celery for winter, digtrenchcs a foot 
in width and as deep as the top of the plants. 
Stand the Cclcr\- in these, erect as they grew, with 
what dirt adheres to the roots, packing 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 lie- 
comes 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 a good 
WHITE puiMB. drainage. 
. Bouquet Celery. — Although not a new vanetv, 
it is one of special merit. It belongs to the .same

quality, with beautifully curved or fringed leaves,

display on the table of all the Celeries. Flavor is

Self Blanching.— This splendid variety first in- 
troduced about five years ago, has taken the lead 
in the Celery line. It has been tested in all sections 
of the country, and some of the largest Celery 
growers pronounce it the best Celery in culti- 
vation. Not only is it a fine table variety, but its 
keeping qualities are unsurpassed. The heart is 
large, solid, and of a beautiful rich golden yellow 
color. Its close habit, compact growth and 
straight, vigorous stalks make a handsome ap- 
pearance. We have an unusually fincstrainof this

satisfaction. Pkt. lOc, oz. 35c., V4 lb. $1.00,
