CELERY Apio, Sp. Sellerie, Ger. Culture.—For early or Summer Celery sow seed of the self-blanching sorts in flats under glass during February, and prick out singly or in sections of row, into other flais, frames, or in nursery row in the open, selecting soil in the highest state of culti- vation. In May to June set the plants in very rich and well prepared land, 6 inches apart in the rows, and rows 3 or 4 feet apart. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and blanch by means of boards set up against the rows. For later and v?inter Celery start seed of standard sorts either in flats as for early, only a little later, or directly into open ground. Make the rows for plants 1 foot apart; sow seed shallow and firm well. The rows in which the flats are to be set are 4 or 6 feet apart. Blanch by earthing up gradually clear to within a few inches of tip of the leaves. For winter storage take up the plants with roots, and place upright on wet soil in a dark cellar or roothouse, packing closely. One ounce of Celery seed will produce from 5,000 to 10,000 plants.

(See cut.) We offer a choice strain of this valuable and popular variety, which was the first of the self-blanching sorts to be introduced, and still holds its place as the best Celery for early crops. It is ready for use ahead of all other varieties, and is unsurpassed for fall and early winter use. -The leaves are bright green with white tips, and as the plants grow to maturity the inner stalks and leaves turn white, thus making very little earthing up necessary to thoroughly and quickly blanch it. The flavor is good an
