Culture—Sow the early varieties ia a cold-frame, the late sorts in the open ground, early in April, and in June and July transplant respectively. On the surface of the ground, tlioroughly enriched and cultivated before- liand, lay out lines 3 feet apart, no trendies, as was fornierlv the custom Set the plants in these rows, about 5 inches apart. Until about the middle of Aug-ust the only work to be done is frequent cultivation and watering in dry weather. Earthiner up may then begin and continue as long as the plants grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. Several methods of bleaching early vai-ieties are to be recommended—banking the soil. 4 inch clay tile, lieavy wrapping papei-, or boards. Tlie earlv varieties are best bleached with boards, owing to the disease commonlV called rust which attacks plants about this pei-iod. and is avoided bv the exclusion of light and air. the celery being ready for use in 15 to iS davs. For late varieties earthing up becomes necessary after Sept. 20th, as frost may ap- pear any night and destroy the crops, where boards, tile or paper are used. The banking of earth is the best protection against fro«:t. As winter ap- proaches the trenches may be covered with boards and a good covering of leaves. Golden Self-BIancIiing—Originator's best French kto«ti stock. Like White Plume, this Celery requires very little earthing up and in many otiier respects it is similar to it, differing, however, in color, which is yellow- ish, the heart being large and solid and of a beautiful golden hue. Un- surpassed in flavor and crispness. French crop this vear short. Pkt. 15c; i/S oz. 35c; oz. 65c; 14 lb. $; 1 lb. $ Golden Self-BlaucIiinK—American Gro
