in February or March. Keep well watered and transplant from 
July to September 15th to rich, moist, mucky soil in rows 12 
to 18 inches apart, with plants 6 inches apart in the row. 
When about 4 inches high clip off the tops to make the plants 
stocky. Supply abundance of moisture. As the plants grow 
heap up the earth around the stalks to whiten them. To pro¬ 
tect from severe winter weather, cover the rows with straw and 
lay boards on the top, or bank the rows with boards when 10 
inches tall. One ounce of seed produces 1,000 plants. As 
celery seed germinate slowly it is best to soak the seed for 24 
hours before sowing.

GARDEN CORN 
(If by mail add 8c for first lb.; lc for each additional lb.) 
CULTURE—Plant 3 or 4 grains V/ 2 inches deep, 2 feet apart 
in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the size and variety of 
the corn. WTen plants are 4 inches high thin out to 2 plants 
to the hill. For very early corn the hardiest and earliest va¬ 
rieties can be planted the latter part of March, if the weather 
1S “J 11 *}* DJJt sweet . cor ns are tender and should not be planted 
until April, or until the spring weather opens and the ground 
becomes thoroughly warm, as sugar corn has a tendency to rot 
in the ground if planted too early. It should be planted at in¬ 
tervals of every two weeks until July or August in order to 
have roasting ears for use during the entire season. One-halt 
pound will plant 150 feet of row; 10 lb. to the acre. 
ADAMS EXTRA EARLY —1 his well known variety is the 
earliest and hardiest White Garden Corn. The ears are short 
and thick, and while rather small, they are usually ready 
about 7 weeks after planting. It can be planted close, as the 
stalks grow only about 4 feet high. 7 his variety should be 
grown only on good land well fertilized. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c* 
5 lbs. 55c; 10 lbs. $1.00; 100 lbs. $7.50. 
ADAMS’ EARLY—This is about a week or 10 days later than 
the Adams’ Extra Early, but has somewhat larger ears, 
measuring about 8 inches in length. The stalks are small, 
growing about 6 feet high. This is also a hardy corn and 
can be planted earlier than the sweet corn. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs 
25c; 5 lbs. 50c; 10 lbs. 90c; 100 lbs. $6.50.

the old Standard Adams Early, the ears being larger, meas¬ 
uring from 11 to 12 inches and coming in about a week later.

White Corn, coming in about a week later than the Improved 
Adams Early. It has deep white soft grains, tender and 
sweet, and makes a good size roasting ear of beautiful mar¬ 
ket and table appearance. Not only is this one of the best 
corns for second early use, but it is also a good variety to 
plant late to mature corn quicklv for stock feeding or for 
making meal. It may be planted as late as July 15th, and 
will then make good corn before frost. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c;
