was the result Of several conferences Of political

success was phenomenal.
NJ. H. Beckwith, writing from the Della
ware station to tho RMral New Yorker. tells
of his test in small way Of the new cul-
ture last season. He says:
I'VE planted six rows OF fifty plants
each, set seven inches apart in the rows
and the first two rows seven inches apart.
These seemed so close that the remaining
rows were planted twelve inches apart.
The varieties grown were the White Plume
and the Golden Self BIanching. During
July and August there was very little
rain, and the plants made little growth.
The six rows made such q narrow bed
only fifty inches between the outside rows
that we feared tho plants would no:

above the other. on each side Of the bed to
exclude the light.
THE plants made very little further
growth after that, and in consequences the
Golden Self launching was not we'll
blauched, although the stocks were so
very tender that they would break Oft
taking hold close to the ground. The
White Plume was perfectly blanched and
of excellent quality. Late in autumn the
Golden Self Bianching plants we're packed
away in q narrow trench dug as deep as
the plants were long. many Of them being
three feet, where the stalks continued
blanching. We are 20 we'll pleased with
this method that we shall try it again the
coming season and shalt set the plants
seven inches apart each way and make the
bed very much wider. a. We think by 90
doing the plants will blsnch better"
The five rows shown in the cut are
planted after the Nivin method.
Mr.. NivIn's celery blanched nicely and
was much cleaner and brighter than cell
cry banked with earth. He claimed 100-
600 good plants to she acre. allowing 26.-
600 for small plants and misses. and as
sumes that to grow such an amount Of
celery the old way would require at least
ten times a. much labor. He emphasizes
