GARDENING.
feycru aud J,s Culture.


At meeting Of the Boston Market Gar
deners' Association, the President, Mr..
w. w. Rawson, of Arlington, read an es-
say on the subject of celery and its cul-
ture.
Growing celery Tor seed was first de-
scribed. For this purpose it is customary
to SOW seed under glass early in Deem
Der; in March the plants will need trans
planting into another bed under glass at
three inches apart, and are to be set in the
field about May !, and will ripen crop
of seed in September. 1t was formerly
the custom to set out in the spring old
roots that had been kept over winter, but it
!, not SO easy rs the above described
method. which makes just as good seed.
Seed for raising the general crop is sown
in April under glass, and is job demand
ing good deal of care to insure success.
The bed should not be under the south
side of fence, like our winter hot-beds,
but should be where there is free sweep Of
fresh air, and if partly shaded is better.
The ground must be we'll MANFRED and
worked fine, and then beaten down firmly.
Tho seed must be sown evenly and not too
thick, and covered by sitting ON one fourth
Of an inch Of loan. The sashes must be
well;sired a. soon as the plants come up.

HORTICULTURE.
FloTHk Hints.

Roses. grape vines and chrysanthemums,
besides hundreds of other species of plants
cultivated both in the open Dir and under
glass, are more or less affected by mildew
and aphis. A certain remedy is to apply
mixture Of one part of black or virgin sui
pher to nine parts of tobacco dust, applied
with sulphur bellows. when the leaves are
wet. ut least once week, while twice q
week is better.
1t is best to apply the sulphur and tobacco
dust mixed, the sulphur being the specific
for the mildew and the tobacco for the aphis.
These remedies most be persisted in. One
or two applications may check the trouble,
but will check it only.
Every kind of plant known to be liable to
be attacked by aphis or mildew should be
busted over with the mixture of sulphur and
tobacco dust twice each week from June to
October. OF course. at such times as the
roses or chrysanthe NUNS are in flower, or
when the fruit or grapes is rlpEenlne,lt must
not be used. But these conditions only oc-
cur for short season during the summer.
SCOT water is cheap and easily made fer
tilizer for pot plants. 1t not only benefits
all kinds, but it clears worms from the soil.
1t should be used after the roofs have taken
to soil freely. 10 make it, half fill IN old
bag with SCOT, adding brick for weight.
Tie up the mouth and sink it in barrel of
water. Commence its use iu moderate
doses.
In tying out the branches of geraniums,
chrysanthemums, and many other plants, in
training for good shape, q leading difficulty
met is in the matter of places 10 tie to. To
render this matter easy, some English gar
deners employ simple and convenient wire
devices in the form of orioles, the same be.

ing sllpped over the pot from the bottom
up, and resting against the rim. With small
projecting buds in the circle, places are af-
forded by which to attach the twine. BY
the aid of such collar, almost any plant
can readily be tied out for increasing shape
illness Of form.
A Wisconsin florist remarks that for bril-
liant hues and for constant succession of
blossoms, no ANNALS can excel the petunia
and the phloN. They are healthy, robust
plants that are successful with amateurs.
Asters are desirable because they come into
bloom after the greater share Of garden
flowers have passed their prime. Tulips IRE
q riot of colors, and no counter spread with
velvets ever showed so soft and lustrous as
a bed of pansies. While prairie roses and
multitloras frequently fail, the old-fash-
Toned French Boursalts yield neither to
winters cold nor summers drought. In
house plants few choice specimens are
better than numberless poor ones.
Horticultural societies are using their in
huence in 1ecommendingto colleges ,acade-
mics and all other institutions of learning
which own grounds, 10 plant and protect in
growth on these grounds as many different
species OF trees and shrubs as may be prac-
ticGble. both for the ornament and shade
they will afford, and for the aid they will
render in giving lessons to the students on
the1r distinctive character and value.
At this season of the year water should be
applied to plants in the morning. Let it be
of the same mean temperature as the air in
which the plants are growing. Never give
a little water. Rather give mono until the
plants are dry enough to need it, and then
let it be done thoroughly.
Blooming plants of abutilons, and those
whose pots are we'll filled with roots, delight
in liquid manure at times. Young plants
need to be shifted as required. Practice
pinching for securing business. AS the
supply OF cuttings increases, propagate in
this manner. Air should be freely given to
plants on favorable occasions, yet avoid
draughts. Aim for q uniform temperature.
Plants placed in cellars for the winter
should lie examined occasionally. Guard
against damp, but do not permit them to
shrivel or dry up.--American Cultiral0r.

which will usually be about four weeks
after sowing, and they must be watched to
keep them cool and moist, otherwise the
hot sun will burn them off.
1t is a mistake to remove the glass too
soon. About June I the plants will be
ready for transplarting, either to O plant
bed. three inches apart, or to the rows in
the field where they are TO grow. The
rows in the field are set four to five or six
feet apart, and the plants at ten or twelve
inches apart in the row, usually among the
growing crops of early onions, beets, and
other crops. The plants must be set care
fully. and the earth we'll pressed down after
setting, to insure their roofing we'll.
Some gardeners SOW seeds with ma
chino between the rows of early onions or
lettuce, and afterwards thin ont the plants.
In some seasons this method is successful,
but it often fails in dry seasons, and is not
so sure as sowing seed under glass. Gel
cry demands clean cultivation through the
summer.
The blight is disease affecting this
crop seriously, and seems to be the result
both of severe drought and of heavy rain.
The ends of the leaves appear spotted,
then the stems turn yellow, and often the
plant is worthless. Blighted celery will
always be found TO have siclly roots, and
the cause of the disease is thought to be
or heavy rain.
Banking for early market begins early
in August, and at this warm season the
celery will bleach in ten days after bank
ing. The portion for marketing before
Thanksgiving is banked late i'll Septem-
Der, and for late keeping after the middle
OF October. In cool weather it takes three
or four weeks to bleach it. The Arlington
variety will bleach week or two quicker
than the Boston Market. These are the
two kinds grown for our market almost ex-
clusively. The Arlington variety will
grow quicker, on poorer soil, and make
more boxes to the acre than the Boston
Market, and is considered the more profit
able variety to grow.
In putting up celery for market on
large scale, each man will dig and clean
and wash from three to five boxes per day,
whore the celery is good and they know
how to do it. The cost of getting it ready,
therefore, is about fifty cents per box, and
the cost of growing, all told, not far from
fifty cents per dozen.
The celery can be easily plowed out Of
the row by a skillful plowman, turning a
couple of burrows from the row at either
side, and then running the pillow directly
under the row. If it is to be stored in a
pit for long time the outer leaves should
be trimmed off at the pit; but if only to be
stored for a few weeks, this is not neces-
sary.
Salt hay and seaweed are used to cover
the pits. fit is desired to ripen the cell
cry quickly the seaweed is better; other
wise the salt hay is preferred. The pits
are made twenty -four feet wide with three
feet rise i'll the middle, and covered with
boards under the hay. The best tempera-
ture for pit where the celery is to be
kept long is about sc degrees. -American
