M. Philips' Sons. Sow in open ground as soon as it is fit to work, late in March or early in April. Keep clean of weeds, and transplant in June or July. The tops should be shorn off once or twice before trans- planting, to insure stocky plants. When from 4 to 6 inches high transplant into broad, shallow trenches, 3 feet apart and 6 inches in the rows. The soil should be light, highly manured and moist, or near water, as the plants must be freely watered in dry weather. Earthing up should not be begun until the plants are quite well grown, then earth up gradually, keeping the 'leaf stocks together, so that the soil may not fall into the center of the plant; never earth up in wet weather or when the dew is on the plants. Dwarf Large Ribbed. This excellent varie- ty is very stocky robust, the whole strength of the vegetation being concentrated into the main plant. The stalks are most vigorous and the ribs grow large and soild, it is perfect- ly solid, white, of a fine sweet flavor and of extra good keeping quality. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c# White Plume. This Celery is valued be- cause, naturally, the stalks and a portion of its inner leaves and hearts are white. By simply tying up the stalks and drawing up a little earth with hoe, the work of blanching is com- plete. It is ornamental, tender, crisp and of good flavor. Pkt. 5c, oz.
