showing the Capitols, Railroads, Rivers, large

On the reverse side we have a map of the

Contrasting with the ebony black of the map 
are the flags and the coat-of-arms of all nations, 
in their flashy, exquisite colors. Our own seven¬

June Pink Tomato 
I have read I’rof. Mas.sey’s notes on 
page lOoo in reference to Earliana to¬ 
mato. I am acquainted with Barliana 
and have grown it largely. Most seed 
catalogues claim that June Pink ripenj 
just as early, and that it ripen.s all at 
on.e, like the Earliana. If these facts arc 
true I cannot see why, as it is a pink, 
that the commercial tomato growers of 
Maryland do not use it instead of Earli¬ 
ana, as the markets prefer a pink tomato, 
and the pini always brings more money 
than a red one. T shall plant a large 
acreage in early tonuitoes next ^Spring for 
shipping East in cnrlots, and if you kir w 
anything about the June Pink in eoinpari- 
with Earliana, I would like informa¬ 
tion along this line. A. J. F. 
Cleveland, Term. 
As to the market demands, it varies a 
great deal in different iiarts of the coun¬ 
try. T have heard that pink fomatoes 
are in demand in the AVestern cities, hut 
in most places in the East the red ones 
are wanted more than the jtink. I cannot 
give iin opink'n of tbe June Pink tomato 
from iiersonal experience, for I have never 
grown it, but I heard from a great many 
gardeners and know some here wh<> are 
very enthusiastically in favor of the .Tune 
Pink rather than the Earliiiua. My own 
opinion is that the Bonny Best fills the 
bill .so well, and is such a jtrolific variety, 
that it will fully satisfy my umls. If 
you can suit your market better with a 
pink tomato I would suiqiose that you can 
hardly do better for an early ))iiik than 
to grow tbe .Tune Pink. w. k. m.vssky. 
Keeping Celery Over Winter 
Will someone wbo lias had experience 
in raising (•elery, and storing it for Win¬ 
ter use, give me through the columns of 
The B. N.-Y., his method of storing cel¬ 
ery, and also storing cabbage?_ I have 
never rnistal celery before till this season, 
but luive had splendid success with it. 
Jonesville, N. Y. F. T. W. 
Variou.s methods are emydoyed in the 
preservation of celery for Winter use. 
That which is most commonly employed 
by the large mai-ket gardeners is trench¬ 
ing. For the pur)»ose a narrow trench 10 
or 12 inche.s wide and as deep as the 
height of the celery, is opened where the 
drainage is sufficient to prevent xvater uc- 
cumnlatiug in the ti'enoH. If the natural 
drainage is uot sufficient to prevent this, 
then provi.siou for carrying off the water 
must be miule for it, as the celery will 
soon decJi.v if suiTonnded by water in the 
trench. Where sloping ground is avail¬ 
able, drainage is easily provided for by 
opening the trench np and down the slope. 
Before putting the celery in the trench 
it is well to put a half inch or so of fine 
soil iu the bottom. Lift the plants with 
a.s much soil adhering to the roots as 
possible, and stand them upright in the 
trench, cIo.se togetlier. ' The proper time 
for storage varies somewhat with the soii- 
son and latitude, and as to the time it 
will he wanted for use. In the latitude of 
New York, that which is wuutetl for use 
in December is stored along the latter 
part of tlctober, and the work is contin¬ 
ued up to about the 2()rli of November, 
which is as late as it is ever safe to 
leave it out. Tiie la.st stored is for use 
from .Tauuary on until March or April, 
if there is .suflicient to hist that long. 
The plants must not he handled when 
wet or frosted, and no soil will be neces¬ 
sary around the roots other than that 
which adheres to them, nor will any 
water around the roots at time of storing 
be needed, as at that time of year the 
weather is cool and there -is sufficient 
moisture iu the ground to keep the plants 
from wilting, and to induce new root 
growth sufficient for the blanching. Iu 
the begiuuiug but light covering will he 
reipiired; pieces of boards jdaced over 
the plauts will be suffic^ient until danger 
of freezing, when some coarse litter, such 
as straw or leaves, may be put on the 
boards at night aud removed during the 
day if weather is mild. As the season ad¬ 
vances and weather becomes colder it will 
ultimately he necessary to keep it covered 
contintrally, adding more litter as the cold 
increases, until sufficient has been put on 
to keep out fi’ost iu the coldest weather. 
I want to .emphasize here, that the cov¬ 
ering %iust be ' put on gradually, as to 
eoTcr heavily at time of storage or before 
it i> mH-cssaiy, will almost surely cause 
the celei’y to sweat and rot. 
W’hen there are only a few dozen or 
hundred.s to store, and one has a root or 
house cellar available, a very satisfac¬ 
tory way is to tran.splant it either in deep 
hut narrow boxes or in the dirt of the 
cellar bottom. When the cellar has ii 
dirt bottom the matter is much .simpli¬ 
fied; all that is necessary is to open nar¬ 
row trenches with a garden hoe deej) 
enough to cover the roots of the plant.s, 
into which the plants are set about eight 
inches apart, and the roots (.’overed with 
the soil from the trench, commencing with 
the first row at the wall, and continuing 
with the rows about eight inches apart 
until all is stored. If the bottom of the 
cellar is dry, the plants will need water¬ 
ing; perhaps the best time to do this is 
as they are being put in, soaking the soil 
well around the plants after the filling of 
each trench or row, being careful not (n 
get any water In the heart of the i)l!nils. 
The cellar door or window sliould in- 
opened every day the weather will ip't- 
init, as an abundance of fresh air is .al¬ 
ways an advantage; iu fact, an absohiie 
necessity in mild weather. A closi! at¬ 
mosphere will soon cause condeusatiou of 
moisture in the heart of the plants, which 
means rot and loss. k. 
New Zeland Spinach Makes Good 
This comparatived.v new vegetable I'm- 
Summer ''greens" is entirely differcni 
fi'om our ordinary garden spinach, :iml 
its strong point is tliat it will endure the 
New Zealand Spinach 
intense heat of midsummer as well as 
prolonged dry weather, when other vege¬ 
tables used for greens at this season 
would die or run to si^ed. Each plant 
scuds out a number of semi-procumbent 
branches, which iu turn send out a large 
miinber of erect laterals. It is the.se lat¬ 
erals that are mostly used, the leafy tips 
of which, from six to eight indies long, 
are used in about the same way as is or¬ 
dinary spinach. After the plauts have ob¬ 
tained a good size, repeated pickings of 
these shoots can be made every week or 
so, as the plant grows very fast. Last 
year Hesteir Bros., of Des Moines, Iowa, 
had a lai-ge patch of tliis spinach at their 
market garden establislimeut, aud it made 
a wonderful growth throughout the Sum¬ 
mer and well into the Fall. They mar¬ 
keted it by bunching the shoots into a 
bundle containing about a dozen shoots 
each. These sold very well when the cu.s- 
tomers became acquainted with its good 
qualities, though, like other novelties in 
the vegetable line, it was not very populai' 
at first. 
This vegetable sliould find a place in 
the liomo gardeus, for its culture is so 
ea.sy, and the small amount of space re¬ 
quired for a few plants, together with 
the ever-bearing quality and the large 
amount of greens produced, are attract¬ 
ive features. Seeds are sown at any 
time in the Spring in rows four feet 
apart, and later the plants are thinned 
to stand a foot apart iu the row. The 
way in which a few plants in, a,.,giy3den 
will cover the. ground and form .a thick 
bed is shown in the illustration. J. T. B.
