GOLDEN CELERY Schumacher. A splendid variety, beautiful golden heart, of fine flavor and a good keeper. ^Winter Queen. This variety is a valuable sort, particu- larly on account of its excellent winter-keeping qualities. It grows a very thick, solid and heavy stalk, and has a large heart. It is a close, compact grower, and when blanched is a creamy white color. CELERY PLANTS. Celery plants can be supplied from June 15th to August 25th. We grow the following varieties, which we offer at the uniform price of 50 cts. per 100, $ per 1000. (If wanted by mail, add ij cents per 100 for postage.) Celery requires a moist, rich soil, and will not thrive in poor soil and dry situations. After the plants have attained a height of five or six inches they should be set out in rows three feet apart, and 6 inches in the row. When twelve to fifteen inches high, the soil should be loosened by the use of the plow or hoe, and the plants be "handled.'' This operation consists of draw- ing the stems upright with one hand and pressing the soil firmly against the plant with the other ; by this process the plant grows upright, and can be easily cultivated and blanched by drawing the soil close up to the plant. Celery should receive thorough cultivation if good results are desired. To store for winter use, select well-drained ground, dig trenches one foot wide and deep enough to cover the tops of the plants. Pack the stalks in this in an upright position, covering with boards to shed the water ; in severe weather protect with straw or leaves. Dreer's Monarch. A decided acquisition, producing large stalks and magnificent bright golden yellow heart. The stalks are very solid, brittle, and of most delicious flavor. When properly grown it is entirely free from stringiness. De- sirable b
