A Bouquet of Neiv Rose and White Plume Celery. {©eltene.) RISP, tender, white stalks of Celery form one of the most tempting, popular and healthful relishes that can be placed upon the table. They can be grown successfully in any good soil, but are finest on deep, mellow bottom land. Seed for early crops should be sown in hot-beds about March 15 ; if sown too early, the plants are apt to run to seed after being transplanted. The plants may either be 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 the main crop, seed should be sown in ihe open air as soon as the soil and air are warm enough. They should be covered very lightly, or merely 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, transplant them to shallow trenches or furrows from 4 to 6 feet apart, according to the variety grown, setting the plants 6 inches apart in the rows and pressing the soil firmly around them. They must be well cultivated and kept free from weeds until ready for blanching, which consists in drawing earth up to the stalks at intervals of about two weeks until all but the tops of the plants are covered. During this pro- cess no earth should be allowed to fall into the center of the plants, as this would cause them to rust or decay. Celery may be kept for winter use in pits or cellars, or in deep, narrow trenches, in a dry situation ; the latter must be covered with boards and sufficient soil ajhd manure on top to ke^ out the frost, leaving openings for ventilation in mild weather at short distances. An ounce of seed will pro- duce about 2,000 plants. \/golden dwarf, orGOLDEN HEART. A ver
