CULTURE— Sow this slowly germinating seed in a shallow box or in 
_ straight rows in a finely prepared bed. See that the seeds are kept 
almost wet and only lightly covered until they germinate. Thin and transplant when about 2 inches high, so that when about 4 inches high the tops 
may be cut off, the plants standing about 3 inches apart. By cutting it makes tlie plants grow stocky. A good soil and plenty of wat«r is 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 setnng, prepare broad, shallow 
trenches about 6 inches deep and four ft«t apart, in which the plants should bo set 6 inches apart, cutting oft the outer leaves and prcs.'iing the soil 
firmly about the roots. Earth up a little during the .summer, keeping the leaf .sto<-.ks near together, so that the soil cannot get Ijetween them. FinLsh 
earthing up in the autumn, and never hoe or earth up in moist weather, or when 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 tht'se, ere<^t 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 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 
a good drainage. . .

<^CII L>I<llIdIIII^« The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of delicious flavor, 
surpassed by no other variety, while it has the decided merit of iH'ing self blanching to a very 
remarkable degree. Without banking up or any covering whatever, even the outer ribs 
become of a handsome, fresh, yellowish-white color. The heart is large, solid and of \ 
a l>eautiful, rich golden- vellow color. The leaves are also of a beautiful golden-yellow after 
the plant has been bleached, which adds greatly to its hand.some appearance when j)repare<l 
for the table. For early tise grow White Plume and Self Blanching, for late and winter use 
our Giant Pascal, and you will have the finest selection of celery that can be produced.

as it can be blanched for the table in Septemlxsr, while for flavor and quality hone can com- 
pare with it. Many of the leading growers of America claim this and Self Blanching 
are the only sorts it pays to raise. We have been extremely careful in selecting our seed 
of this famous variety and Ijelieve the sixxl we offer this season is as pure a strain of White
