Mijor Clarke’s Pink. —Of late years I have found more of a disposition to grow the 
pink or red varieties of Celery, which is as it should be, lor so far as flavor goes, 
the red and pink varieties are, as a rule, much superior to the white sorts. This 
variety is of medium growth, and of stiff, close habit, large heart, remarkably 
solid and crisp, and of fine walnut flavor. Per packet, 5 cents; ounce, 40 cents; 
one-fourth pound.$1.25.

rich, loamy soil. Con¬ 
tinue to plant at inter¬ 
vals, for a succession, in 
hills about four feet 
apart each way. The 
hills should be previous¬ 
ly prepared with a shov¬ 
elful of well-rotted ma¬ 
nure. Thin out to four 
plants to the hill. For

to July. One ounce will

Improved Early White-Spine, or Arlington, —For both market use and pickling 
this variety is now more 
largely grown than any oth¬ 
er. My seed is of the true

which, on that ac¬ 
count, I do not grow.

ounce, 10 cents, fourth 
pound, 30 cents, per 
$1.00. London Long Green Cnenmber. 
Extra Long Green Prickly. —Also known locally as Jersey Pickle.. A very excel¬

pickle. Per packet, 5 cents, ounce, 20 cents, one-fourth pound, 25 cents, per 
pound.90 cents.

Immensely productive. Per packet, 5 cents, ounce, 10 cents, one-fourth pound,

fine flavor, smoothness, beauty and prolificness. It is liable, some seasons, to 
speck, and hence is not always to be relied upon for market use. Per packet, 5 
cents, ounce, 10 cents, one-fourth pound, 30 cents, pound.$1.00.
