CELERY. 
The Cultiuation 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 bottomed with rich soil, and the plants liberally watered ; saline manure is beneficial.

Carters’ Solid Ivory • — (See Illustration.) — One of the most remarkable features of Carters’ 
Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact habit, and beautiful white colour. It may be planted upon 
the surface of the ground instead of in trenches, and all that is necessary in the way of earthing up can be done 
in a very simple manner by the hand, or with an ordinary draw-hoe, a little care being taken to bring 
the stalks close together, and thus assist in its complete bleaching. If the heads are also tied with a little 
rough matting, the same as with Cos Lettuces, it will assist not only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also 
to exclude superabundant moisture. As 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. 
“ I was very much pleased with your Celery (Carters’ Ivory). I cannot find any to compare wdth it, and it 
is rightly named 1 Solid Ivory.’” — Mr. Rees Davis, Llangennech. 
A customer writes in October : — “ The only Celery which at the break up of the intense frost we found to be 
still good was Carters’ Solid Ivory White.” > 
“Carters’ ‘Solid Ivory’ Celery is without doubt the best Celery grown, both for Main Crop and also for 
Exhibition purposes.” — Mr. R. Milner, The Gardens, Penrice Castle. 
We have records of no less than 36 First Prizes awarded this variety. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Incomparable Crimson • — A dwarf growing, rich-coloured Celery, 
very crisp eating, and of delicious flavour. In some important Celery trials at the Royal Horticultural 
Society’s Gardens, a few years since Carters’ Incomparable was pronounced to be the best Dwarf Red variety. 
“ Carters’ Incomparable Crimson is excellent in every way for the latest crops, unsurpassed for crispness and 
nutty flavour, and the latest in ‘ running ’ of any variety I am acquainted with. I unhesitatingly recommend it as 
a sterling late variety .” — The Garden , March gth, i 8 <?j. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
The Standard-Bearer- 
-This is the finest type of the giant Red Celery that has come 
under our notice for many years. It is the result of a cross between a light red variety and Major Clarke’s. 
“ Messrs. James Carter & Co. have sent us a head of the Standard-bearer Celery, a variety of which they have 
recently become the possessors. It is a red Celery, very fine indeed, containing much stalk in proportion to 
foliage. It is remarkably solid and heavy, the sample before us being such as is coveted in private gardens 
and markets. ” — -Journal of Horticulture. 
“At the Shrewsbury Show I was placed first in the open class for Celery, which was Carters’ Standard- 
Bearer, beating 27 competitors.” — Mr. H. Taylor, Whitchurch. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet.
