CELERY 
One ounce will sow about 300 feet of row and 
; produce about 5,000 plants. 
__ A row of celery in the home garden will 
supply a family with a delicious vegetable 
until late in the fall. Its hardy qualities and 
adaptability to various soils and weather con- 
ditions make it a very desirable crop*to grow. 
Excellent results are obtained from cons- 
tantly moist, rich, well prepared soil. Celery 
seed will sprout at comparatively low tem-. 
' peratures but requires constant and abundant 
moisture. It is slow to germinate and even 
under favorable conditions cannot be expected 
to start within 2 weeks. For fall and winter 
use in the North, celery may be planted from 
March 15th to April 15th. Plantings in other 
sections can be governed accordingly. The 
soil for starting plants should be fine and 
loose and seed must be covered only %4 inch 
deep. Prick out about 3 inches apart each 
way when seedlings have 3 or 4 leaves 
started. Keep the soil well moistened at all 
times and transplant to open -ground when 
plants are 75 to 90 days old. Space the rows 
according to the methods of blanching. 5 to 
7 feet are required for soil blanching and 2 to 
4 feet for other methods. Set the plants 8 
to 12 inches apart to the row. To avoid pithi- 
ness or rotting of the stalk do not cover for 
blanching during warm weather.

CUCUMBERS 
In all of its various stages of development 
the cucumber finds a place on our table. 
Hither raw or pickled it serves as an ingre- 
dient for salads and constitutes'a tasty relish 
by itself. A fine crop may be easily grown 
wherever an openly exposed location of fairly 
rich soil is available. Planting should be 
delayed until all danger of frost is past. Soil 
for planting should be warm, fairly moist and 
loose. Seed must be covered about % inch 
deep. Plant in hills 3 by 5 feet apart, drop- 
ping 6 or 8 seeds to each hill. When 6 inches 
tall, thin to 3 in a hill. 
A. B.C. CUCUMBER. This is positively 
a new stock of Cucumber which we 
are offering and not a renamed va- 
riety, not an old variety remodeled. 
The grower of this variety has spent 
seven years in developing this extraor- 
dinary strain and has been able to 
place small quantities of seed for test 
with various critical Cucumber grow- 
ers. In every case they report that it 
is the finest they have ever seen. The 
vine in a good stock of Cucumber 
must be robust and resistant to dis- 
ease. Cucumber A. B. C. will produce 
an abundance of fruit 10 inches long, 
not quite as thick as a great many 
other stocks, they will hold their 
greenness longer than any type we 
ever handled. The time of maturity is 
60 days. We are very proud of 
A. B, C. Cucumber and suggest mak- 
ing it a point this coming season to 
give it a trial. Our supply of this 
seed for the next several years will 
be limited on account of the great 
demand and the limited amount avail- 
able.

sized Cucumber of the white spine class. 
The fruits are 7 to 8 inches long, cylindrical 
in shape, and a fine glossy green in color. 
They retain their fine color for a remark- 
ably long time and onsthat account are 
very well adapted for shipping. The young 
fruits are desirable for small pickles and 
the mature fruits are very satisfactory in 
shape and size for packing. The variety 
is becoming popular with commercial grow- 
ers and is proving a good home-garden sort.
