Celery. 
To raise this delicious vegetable to best 
advantage, seed should be sown in hot-bed 
or cold frames. When plants are three or 
four inches high, transplant to deep rich 
soil, six inches apart. If the rows are in 
trenches it will be all the better in earth¬ 
ing up. This should bo done during sum-' 
mer and autumn, banking the earth up to 
the leaves. Never hoe or earth up when 
the plants are wet. The four sorts we hero 
offer are all that can lie desired. They are 
the Cream of all sorts. One is white, one a 
red, another yellow, and the fourth the 
beautiful tern-leaved variety. One can
