CULTURE. — Sow end of January or early in February in a frame on a alight heat, or in a houae, ao that the plants may be forward and haidenod 
off by April, when a aowing may be made outdoors. From this sowing heads will be produced in July and August. To stand tbe Winter, seeds should be 
town about the third week in August. Cannelh' First-to-Cut^ Early Eondotif and Early Dwarf Erfurt are reliable sorts. Select a sunny, well-drained spot 
for the seed bed, well work, and if at all heavy add a good dressing of fine sandy soil or old potting compost, after which the seed may be sown thinly and 
broadcast, and covered with fine soil. When the seedlings appear, apply an occasional dusting of soot and lime as a preventive against slugs. The strongest 
plants, when ready, should be dibbled out rather thickly in hand-lights and cold frames, and the remainder left in the seed bed where they will frequently 
survive an ordinary Winter. Finally, plant out in Spring.

CELERY. 
CULTURE. — In February sow in heat; March and April in open border. Plant in April, May, and July, from 2 feet 9 inches to 3 feet 
between the trenches. A coating of mineral manure to the bottom of the trenches with rotten dung from an old hot-bed, and well water in dry weather. 
However large Celery may be, it is of little value if disfigured by the ravages of garden pests. It is of the utmost importance that soot, burnt ashes, 
or even fine soil is banked closely round the stems, too much soot can hardly be used, both to keep away the celery-fly that works its way in and 
deposits its eggs between the two skins of the leaves, and also to keep sings from injuring it.
