of Carters Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact 
habit and beautiful white colour. If the heads are 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. We have records of no less

CHICORY. 
French— Chicor^e. 
The Cultivation of Chicory .— Chicory is a leading ingredient in French salads, and the plant is so easily cultivated that it should be more 
popular here. The seed is sown in late spring, in a sheltered position on a nice soil, very similar to Carrots, tin- plants thinned out to about 9 in. 
apart, and left to grow on until the end of summer, when the growth will die down, leaving a root somewhat like a Parsnip. These are taken 
into a shed and kept in a heap of soil away from frost, and transferred to a hothouse when needed to produce their blanched heads during winter 
They may also be grown in boxes.

500 Carters Improved Sweet. - -This Maize is a favourite .Vegetable dish in Canada, and we are now able to offer an improved type, 
acclimatised and saved in this country. The demand is increasing as it is more widely known. The cobs are cooked and served whole, and 
the peculiar sweet nutty flavour is so appreciated that after a trial it will, no doubt, find a permanent place in tire kitchen garden. Included 
in 2 Gold Medal Exhibits of Carters Vegetables during 1914. (See Photograph.) Per pkt., -16, 1/-, and 1/6 
CRESS. 
French— Cresson. 
The Cultivation of Cress .— Use boxes of good fine soil, make the surface flat, and sow the seed rather thickly over the top. just pressing it 
into the surface, but without using any covering material. After sowing, water it well. Place the box in moist heat, and cover with boards 
or thick paper until the seed germinates. Use shallow boxes half filled with soil. Frequent successional sowings should be made all the 
year round. Good results may be obtained out of doors in the summer by preparing beds of fine soil in the same way as recommended for 
boxes, and covering the seed when sown with hoards or mats until it germinates. 
Use . — Cut as soon as ready with a sharp knife. 
Watercress may be successfully grown if sown in rows in a shady border and well watered.
