CELERY 
CORN. 
Sow seeds 
in a hot-bed 
or in cold- 
frame. As 
soon as the 
plants are 
about three 
inches high, 
transplant to 
a nicely-prepared bed 
in the border, setting 
them four or five in¬ 
ches apart. When 
some eight inches 
high, and fine stocky 
plants, set them in the 
trenches. Earth up 
a little during the 
summer, keeping the 
leaf stalks close to¬ 
gether, so that the 
soil cannot get be¬ 
tween them. Finish 
earthing up in autumn, and never hoc or earth up in 
moist weather, nor when plants are moistened with dew. 
To preserve 
Celery for win¬ 
ter, dig trenches 
a foot in width, 
and a foot high¬ 
er than the tops 
of the plants. 
Stand the Cel¬ 
ery in there 
erect, just as 
they grew, roots 
and all, and not 
crowded. Cover 
the trench with 
boards, and 
then leaves or 
straw, as seen in 
the engraving.

Below we give a list of the earliest and latest varie¬ 
ties of Sweet Corn and the sweetest and best. 'I he 
| Minnesota is the earliest Sweet Corn we are acquainted 
with, and the best very early Corn, while the Evergreen 
is the latest of all, ripening with difficulty. Indeed, we 
have to use fire to dry it for seed, when very pure. 
'Vhe engraving shows the Minnesota , which is the small¬ 
est and earliest, the Russell's Prolific , and Early Con¬ 
cord, coming into use in the order named. Plant Corn 
in a warm soil, if possible, and nothing is gained by too 
early planting. Sweet Corn should not be planted very 
early in the season, especially in a cold soil, for it will 
not make any progress until the weather is warm and 
will be very likely to rot. It will decay in places where 
our common field corn will grow, and tl)c sweeter and 
purer, and more wrinkled the Sweet Corn, the less hard¬ 
ships it will bear. 
Corn, Early Minnesota, by far the best very 
early Sweet Corn we have ever tried. Plant 
rather dwarf, ears fine for so early a variety, 
and of good quality ; per pint 25 cents, .... io 
Russell’s Prolific, a very superior early variety. 
It is the earliest first-class Sweet Corn. Ears 
eight to ten inches in length ; per pint 25 cents, 10 
Moore’s Early Concord, a very good Corn, 
very much prized in the neighborhood of Bos¬ 
ton; ears large; ripens after Russell's, and in 
carlincss about with Early Eight Rowed, or 
Crosby’s ; per pint 25 cents,.. 10 
Crosby’s Early, nearly as early as Russell s 
Prolific, ears about as long, or a little longer, very 
thick, having from twelve to sixteen rows. A 
very desirable Corn for the private garden and 
for market, like the old Asylum, but earlier; 
per pint 25 cents,. 11 
Early Eight-Rowed Sugar, following the pre¬ 
ceding in time ofmaturity ; excellent; ears about 
nine inches long and very fine ; per pint 25 dls., jo 
S towell’s Evergreen, late; very select and 
pure ; per pint 25 cents,. ’ ’ 
Parching, best white; per pint 25 cents, .
