CELERY. 
The cultivation of Celery is extending 
through the South more and more each year, 
though it is attended with many difficulties 
and disappointments. The varieties we offer 
have been selected with great care, and if 
the directions for growing are carefully fol¬ 
lowed even amateurs may succeed fairly well 
in attempting to grow this delicious plant. 
For market gardeners or truckers there is no 
Celery like the two varieties we offer. They 
will be found to be better flavored, more crisp, 
less apt to dry up and wilt than the sorts com¬ 
monly sold, and are ready for shipment the 
soonest. We control this stock and do not 
sell it to other seedsmen. Yon can ob¬ 
tain it of ns only. 
Mexican Solid— The stalks are 
roundish; crisp and solid ; the growth large, 
and a most reliable strain. No Celery can 
compare with it in its ability to stand the 
heat, and when ready for market the plants 
are plump and do not wilt as soon as most 
sorts. Packet, xo cents; oz., 50 cents; % lb., 
$3.00; lb., $10.00. 
C U LT U R E—Dig a trench a foot deep and put in four 
or five inches of well rotted manure, cover that with good 
soil, or a light sandy loam well mixed with muck or leaf 
mold, transplant the plants from the seed bed and make two 
rows eight inches 
apart, and the same 
distance apart in the 
row. The seeds may 
be sown in the seed 
bed in any moist 
place, covering the 
seed very lightly, in 
May and June, and 
August and Septem¬ 
ber, and in some 
places in Florida and 
Texas, all dnring Oc¬ 
tober and N ovember. 
The plants should be 
transplanted when 
about six inches 
high. Water freely 
with soapsuds, water 
or liquid manure, be¬ 
ing careful not to 
pour in on the plants.
