Culture. —The proper time to sow is early in April, transplanting about the first of June. Set in 
rows 3 feet apart, and about 12 inches between plants in the row. Some gardeners trim off the tops 
a little, while the plants are small, to make them more stocky. Keep down all weeds, and, as Fall 
approaches, draw earth up to the plants, keeping the stalks well together. This earthing-up is con¬ 
tinued at intervals, until only the leaves appear above the soil. When well blanched is ready for 
use. For Winter use it is usually placed in frames and covered with earth and litter or stored in cool 
cellars. Comparatively few soils are suited to Celery culture. Rich, mellow soils of a sandy 
nature are best, while soils that settle and become hard after rain are unsuitable. The seed, being 
very small, should be covered very lightly.

yellow hearts are exceptionally large and firm, and 
are of a most attractive appearance. It blanches

curliness this variety is unexcelled. Its compact 
growth and straight, vigorous, rich, golden yellow 
stocks are what make this Celery in such demand.

vicinity of Boston it is the main early Celery raised 
by market gardeners. This seed is one year old and 
tested as to its purity.
