the general favorite among market gardeners and canners for late use. It is very 
productive, the ears are of large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and su¬

^.CELERY.^ 
Sow the last of March or early in April, in an open border, in rich, mellow ground, 
in shallow drills, watering freely in dry weather. By rolling or pressing in the seed 
the result has been more satisfactory than when covered. The tops are cut off once 
or twice before planting out, to make them stocky. When the plants are five or six 
inches high, transplant, the dwarf varieties three feet, and the taller sorts four feet 
between the rows, plants six inches apart in the rows. Cultivate well, and when 
large enough, blanch by earthing up. The first operation is that of handling; after 
the soil is drawn up with the hoe, it is drawn closer around each plant by the hand, 
to keep the leaves firm in an upright position and prevent spreading, continuing 
until it is finally ready to be stored away for the Winter. The Celery swells like a 
Turnip, and may be preserved in sand through the Winter. To store for Winter use, 
select well-drained ground, dig trenches one foot wide and deep enough to cover the 
tops of the plants. Pack the stalks In this in an upright position, covering with 
boards to shed the water, and in severe weather protect with straw or leaves. One 
ounce of seed will produce about 1,000 plants. 
Celery, Golden-leaf Blanching.—(See description in Novelties). Per packet, 10 cts. 
White Plume.—(For Illustration and description see Novelties). Per packet, 10 
cents; ounce, 40 cents; pound.$4.00. 
Golden Dwarf Heart.—A very popular and distinct variety. In habit of growth 
it resembles the half-dwarf white sorts, except that when blanched, the heart, 
which is large and full, is of a waxy, golden-yellow. It is a most striking and 
showy variety for either market or private use. It is entirely solid, of most 
excellent flavor, and keeps well during the Winter. Per packet, 6 cents; ounce, 
25 cents; one-fourth pound, 75 cents; pound.$2.50.
