CELERIAC 
For garden culture we would advise 
making two plantings where wanted 
for either home use or market. For 
the earliest crop the seed should be 
sown in hotbeds during February or 
March, and the young plants set in 
rich soil as soon as large enough. 
For the fall or main crop, seed may be 
sown In the open ground as early in 
the spring as the soil can be worked 
in a good condition, and the plants 
should be set in the rows during July. 
KALAMAZOO. The most solid 
crisp eating and deliciously flavored 
variety. Very large, short and stocky 
and of quick growth. Keeps well.

\ 
CELERIAC (Turnip-rooted Celery). 
This is distinct in growth from the 
tall celeries. The edible portion is 
the large, swollen root, which some- 
what resembles a turnip, and is high- 
ly esteemed for boiling or for flavor- 
ing 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 
are produced entirely below the sur- 
face, plants do not need earthing up.
