DANIELS’ GIANT WHITE. 
“ I took four First Prizes with your 
Celery. It measured four feet two iuches 
long and sixteen inches round.”— Mr. W. 
SLATER, Rochester. 
Celery. 
Cultivation. — row vegetables exhibit more prominently the features which result 
from good culture than does Celery. If it receives any check during its entire growth, the 
invariable result is that the produce becomes either stringy, or bolts, and indeed, not 
infrequently both ; and the latter sometimes happens at a very early date in the Autumn. 
Too early sowing also causes the latter to happen sometimes, following very arid Summers; 
hence it is not advisable to sow but sufficient for a few first rows when the earlier sowing 
has to be made. As regards the date of sowing, the grower must determine this according 
to the date when the earlier supply is in demand. In some establishments it is required 
by the beginning of September, or before; though generally consumers like it to remain 
until cold nights and a little frost have given to it less of that strong natural taste which 
it invariably has, at such times as the leaves are young, active, and in full growth. For 
the first crop sow' in February, in pans, boxes, or upon a slight hotbed, if time and the 
opportunity exist to do the latter. So soon as the young plants, the produce of this sowing, 
become large enough for handling, prick them out thickly on to nursery beds formed upon 
a slight hotbed. Make another successional sowing in March, and in a like manner, and as 
soon as the plants, the produce of such, are large enough, prick them out in turn, either 
and may come in useful besides for soups, &c. When the plants assume fair proportions, 
trenches must be prepared to finally plant them into. The trenches should be from nine to 
twelve inches deep, and from fourteen to eighteen inches wide, according to the earliness 
of planting, &e. Throw out the soil to this required size and depth, packing it up neatly 
on either side. Then procure, and dig in four or five inches of thoroughly decomposed rich 
manure ; turn this over, and knock it about, so as to mix it freely together, and proceed 
to plant the plants therein directly. The principal attention they will require for the next 
month or two will consist of watering, &c., and both dear water and rich liquid manure 
should be given to them as frequently as it may be possible to do so. The earthing-up process 
should commence early in July, or previously, when a very early supply is in demand. When 
it is in contemplation to proceed with this process, first go over all the plants, remove all tho 
small leaves from around their base, and any young side er sucker shoots which are seen to 
form ; then upon a fine dry day, chop down some of the soil from the sides of the trenches, 
breaking it up line, and with the hands, aided by a trowel, place tho soil in around the base 
of each plant neatly with the right hand, whilst each plant or stick is held firmly in position 
with the other. It is better to mould up at three successional times. Take care not to 
press the soil too firmly around the hearts, and avoid letting crumbs of soil fall into the 
hearts of the plants beside, as if carelessness be permitted in either case, there will be great 
danger that the “sticks” will grow crooked, or become “ seated” as it is commonly called. 
All successional crops must be earthed up in rotation, and at studied intervals apart, but eaoh 
should, at the advent of Winter, have sufficient soil placed around to protect all from severe 
frosts. Daniels’ Golden Heart, Daniels’ Giant White, and Daniels’ Giant 
Red are the best, being extra selected stocks of superior merit.
