VEGETABLE SEEDS Beckett's Seed Store, 101 and 103 Federal St., N. S., Pittsburgh, CELERY Celery can be grown in any garden soil, but the finest is produced in deep, mellow bottomland. Seed for early crops should be sown in hot- beds about March 15. The plants may be either thinned to give them room to grow, or transplanted to another bed to grow until it is time to plant them in the open ground. For main crop, seed should be sown in the open as soon as the soil and air are warm enough. They should be covered lightly, and firmly pressed into the earth with a board, if the soil is fine and mellow. The seed-bed must be kept free from weeds, and well watered in dry weather. When the plants are large enough, trans- plant them to shallow trenches or furrows, from 4 to 6 feet apart, accord- ing to the variety grown, setting the plants 6 inches apart in the rows and pressing the soil firmly around them. Blanching consists of drawing earth up to the stalks at intervals of about two weeks, until all but the tops of the plants are covered. Celery may be kept for winter use in cellars, or in deep, narrow trenches, in a dry situation; the latter must be covered with boards, with sufficient soil and manure on top to keep out the frost, leaving openings at short distances for ventilation in mild weather. An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants. EASY BLANCHING. This splendid Celery has come to the front very rapidly the last few years. Its outstanding characteristic is the remarkable ease with which it blanches, while at the same time it is suitable both for early use and for winter keeping—valuable qualities which recommend it strongly to amateur as well as pro
