CELERY. 
The Cultivation of Celery.— Sow in February on a mild hot-bed for earliest crop, to be pricked out on bottom-heat when ready, and 
transferred to trenches in June^ Sow in March for main, and in April for late crop. The trenches should be filled with rich manure, and 
the plants liberally watered ; smie manure is beneficial. 
IVORY. One of the most remarkable features ot Carters' Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact habit, and 
as with Cos Lettuces, it will assist not only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to exclude superabundant moisture. A« a Celery for the use of Hotels and other large 
establishments it is unequalled, there being scarcely any waste in dressing it for table. As the name signifies, Carters’ Solid Ivory Celery has been proved, after repeated 
trials, to be the most solid, crisp-eating, and delicious-flavoured variety in use— the peculiar filbert-nut taste being most marked. This Celery has been placed upon the 
dinner-table on several prominent occasions, when its exquisite quality was spontaneously admitted by all. 
A dwarf, compact, solid, and crisp Celery, well worth growing, as double the 
number of plants can be cultivated in the same space of ground that a strong 
variety would require." Mr. MALCOLM. Head Gardener to 
The Most Noble The Marquis of CHOLMONDBLBY. 
“ I am very much pleased with Carters’ Solid Ivory Celery. I grew it last 
year • it has a beautiful nuttv flavour, and is crisp-eating, very dwarf, and occupies 
but little space.” — Mr. G. STAPLES, Cobham. 
“ Carters’ Solid Ivory Celery turned out splendidly." 
Mr. S. ROBERTS, Rhyl. 
“ Carters’ Ivory Celery has been the finest I ever tasted.” 
E. H. BELLAIRS, Esq., Wingfield. 
“ I think it only right to say Carters’ Solid Ivory is the finest and best-flavoured 
Celery I have ever had ' I shall grow no other kind in future.” 
C. TAYLOR, Esq., Wexford. 
“ Carters’ Solid Ivory Celery is the admiration of every one that eats it. It 
beats every sort for flavour.” — M. WHITE, Esq., Battle. 
“ Carter’s Solid Ivory Celery is the best I have ever grown, and I intend to 
grow no other.”— Mr. J. DUFFY, Ireland.

Snowball — and in all points of merit they stand as I have 
J ilaced them here. Carters’ variety came in fivkt, and

as the largest.’ — THR GARDEN,
