R. PIERSON CO., TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON, N. Y. CELERY. One ounce will sow a bed of nine square yards, and produce about 3,000 plants. Sow in open ground as early in April as possible, and keep free from weeds. Trans- plant once, before planting, to make stocky plants.

It can be kept for a small family, probably better than any other way, in boxes placed in an upright position, first a layer of sand anda layer of Celery, and so on till the box is full, only the tops remaining out. Keep as cool as possible, just above the freezing point—no warmer: if it is, it will rot—no colder. On a larger scale it can be placed in trenches as deep as the Celery is high, 12 inches wide, the Celerv placed as close together as it can be put. standing it upright, covering it as cold weather comes on, with st
