. Vegetable, flower & agricultural seeds : spring 1899. Nursery stock New York (State) New York Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs. CELERY. German, Sellerie.—French, Celeri.—Span- ish, Apio. One ounce will produce 5,000 plants. The seed may be sown in the open border as soon in April as the ground can be worked. When the plants are three inches nigh, transplant four inches apart, into temporary beds of soft rich soil, where they will soon acquire sufficient strength for planting out in beds. Plant in rows three feet apart, and set sis inches apart in rows. If the weather is dry at the time of planting, care should be taken that the roots are firm in the ground. After the planting is com- pleted, nothing further is necessary for six or seven weeks, except running through between the rows with the cultivator or hoe and freeing the plants from weeds. About the middle of August earthing up is neces- sary for blanching and whitening of that which is wanted for early use. After the soil has been drawn up against the plant with the hoe, it is further pressed close around each plant by the hand, firm enough to keep the leaves in an upright position' and prevent them from spreading, UBing care to prevent the soil falling into the heart of the plant. GOLDEN SKLP-BLANCH1NG. A self-blanching variety of the " White Plume" order, but far superior for cither market gardeners' or private use. It reauires earthing up a little more than "the " White Plume.'''' It is of a rich golden-yellow color, crisp, tender and of fine flavor ; keeps well turough- out the season; and is the earliest variety grown. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; ox,, 40 cts.: GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING CELERY. H-^>; $ ; 1 lb., $, GIANT PASCAL. This splendid variety is a sport from the well- known "Golden Self-blanching," carefully selected.
