| CELERIAC 
Knob or Turnip-Rooted Celery

smooth-skinned. Very few fibrous roots. Boiled 
and sliced, they make a delicious salad. The

oring soup. Pkt., 15¢; WY oz., 50c; oz., 90c; 
Ya Ib.,. $2.75. 
CHICORY 
WITLOOF or FRENCH ENDIVE. This is the deli- 
cious salad served in first-class restaurants 
under :the name of “French Endive.’ In late 
autumn, lift the roots carefully, cut off the 
leaves about 1% inch from the crown, and store 
in the cellar in sand or dry soil. After one 
month’s rest, they are ready for forcing. Plant 
thickly in a deep box in the cellar or in a dark 
place where it is warm. The new leaves grown 
in the dark, are snowy white, crisp, and of finest 
flavor. Pkt., 35c; oz., $1.00; 1% Ib., $3.50. 
SELECTED SWEET CORN 
Plant about May 5 in hills and allow two plants 
to grow in each hill. Sweet Corn requires rich soil. 
To have a continuous supply of Sweet Corn 
throughout the season, plant every two weeks until 
July. 
One pound will plant 125 hills.

CUCUMBERS 
For very early Cucumbers, start seeds in pots in 
the frame or greenhouse, and set plants out when

cumbers should be gathered as quickly as they are 
ready for use, for, if left to ripen, they destroy 
the productiveness of the vine. For pickling, plant 
during June and July.
