and the plants must be freely watered in dry weather. 
Earthing up should not be begun until the plants are 
quite well grown, then earth up gradually, keeping the 
leaves together, so that the soil may not fall into the cen- 
ter of the plant; never earth up in wet weather or when 
the dew is on the plants. 
Fordhocok Emperor. 130 days. A most distinct variety 
of outstanding merit. It is of true dwarf type and, 
therefore, much easier to blanch than the taller-grow- 
ing sorts. The plants average 16 to 18 inches in 
height, and the blanched part is 6 to 9 inches long. 
The stalks are smooth and very thick, some measuring 
one-half inch through, when cut. The color is white, 
the heart tinged with yellow. Unsurpassed in flavor, 
being decidedly nutty and crisp. The largest, most 
solid, and finest nut-flavored Celery grown.”

Giant Pascal. 135 days. A good variety to grow for win- 
ter market as the large bunches of broad, smooth 
stalks keep well when put away for winter use. Plants 
are of a dwarf, compact habit, with thick, solid stalks 
of deep green color which blanch to a golden yellow, 
with an excellent nutty flavor.

Golden Self-blanching. 120 days. A most valuable varie- 
ty which is somewhat of the character of the celebrat- 
ed White Plume inasmuch as it does not require such 
high banking up as the ordinary sorts to be fit for the 
table. It needs simply a slight earthing up. Then it 
becomes a beautiful waxy golden color, very solid, and 
of a rich nutty flavor.

SWEET or SUGAR CORN 
CULTURE.—Sweet or Sugar Corn should not be plant- 
ed until May, or when the ground has become warm, as 
the seed is liable to rot in cold or wet ground. For a 
succession, plant every two weeks until the last week of 
July. Give frequent and thorough cultivation. 
One quart will plant 200 to 300 hills. 8 to 10 quarts 
will plant an acre. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam. 82 days. This is a second- 
early variety having all the good qualities of Golden 
Bantam but has much larger ears. It was developed 
by crossing Golden Bantam and Early Wonder varie- 
ties. Ears are 7 inches long with 8 rows of grain; the 
golden kernels are tender, sweet, and of a delicious 
flavor.
