CRESS. 
The Cultivation of Cress. —Sow Plain Cress once a week all the Summer in 
shallow boxes, filled up about three parts of the way with nice rich soil; when 
this is pressed down and watered, sow the seed an hour afterwards rather thickly 
over it, and merely press it into the soil. Cover with a double sheet of paper from 
9 to 4 p. m. during the Summer, and sprinkle every evening. When the young 
seedlings reach an inch above the level of the top of the box they may be cut oft 
with a sharp knife, and washed before being sent to table. American Cress should 
be sown the end of August to stand the Winter. Watercress may be successfully 
grown from seed, if sown in a shady border, and well watered. (See also Carters’

CELERY. 
The Cultiuation of Celery. —Sow in February on a mild hot-bed for earliest crop, to be pricked out on bottom-heat when ready, and transferred to trenches in June. 
Sow in March for main, and in April for late crop. The trenches should be bottomed with rich soil, and the plants liberally watered; saline manure is beneficial. 
Carters’ Solid Ivory • —One of the most remarkable features of 
Carters’ Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact habit, and beautiful white 
colour. It may be planted upon the surface of the ground instead of in trenches, and 
all that is necessary in the way of earthing up can be done in a very simple manner by 
the hand, or with an ordinary draw-hoe, a little care being taken to bring the stalks 
close together, and thus assist in its complete bleaching. If the heads are also tied 
with a little rough matting, the same as with some Cos Lettuces, it will assist not 
only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to exclude superabundant moisture. As 
the name signifies, Carters’ Solid Ivory Celery has been proved, after repeated 
trials, to be the most solid, crisp-eating, and delicious-flavoured variety in use—the 
peculiar filbert-nut taste being most marked. 
We have records of no less than 34 PRIZES 
awarded this variety during the past two 
seasons in open competition. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Incomparable Crimson • —A dwarf grow¬ 
ing, rich-coloured Celery, very crisp eating, and of delicious flavour. In some

In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet.
