Soil and Drainage.
Alfalfa is adapted to n wide range

must be taken to provide free escape

will soon die where water stands for a
few days.
The physical character of the soil,
especially III reference to its ability to
retain moisture, has much to do with
the success of the crop. Deep blowing
is essential. and if the subsoil is hard
and compact the use of the subsoil
plow is beneficial, as it breaks capil-

INTERESTING PRODUCT.
Expression of Opinion Concerning
the New Perennial celery"

thC new EeFehnlaI
Writing of the Silver King Hardy
Celery in Rural New Yorker. W. V. +.
says: The name of Professor w. w.
Hilborn, superintendent of the Ontario
experimental farm, bennington, Ont,
being given as reference, we applied to
him for information, inclosing crcu-
lar exploiting this phenomenal novelty.
Here is his reply under date of March
10:
Il did not see the circular until last
week. They have no authority to put
my name to any such testimonial
What | did say was that it is very
good substitute for, but would never
take the place of. celery At the date
| gave that testimonial l had not seen
the foliage and did not recognize the
plant We tested large sample of
the stalks last spring At first our
family ate quite freely of 1t and
thought it a very good substitute for
celery, especially as it came early in
the spring when there was no other.
After using for three or four days
most of the members of the family ate
very little of the vegetable. During
the summer l saw the plant growing
and believe it to be the same thing we
grew in our garden over forty years
ago. 1t was called lovage' or smell
age The leaf is not unlike celery, but
when you crush it between your
thumb and fingers it has Il very rank
odor not at all like celery"
The LOvage Plant.
The lovage plant is not a celery at
ALL the stalks being only useful as a
substitute in the same manner as the
blanched shoots of chicory or fennel.
The root of lovagc is long lived and
may be increased by division like rhu-
barb. 1t is quite possible that the
promoters of the new hardy celery"
believe they have valuable new prod
uct and are reasonably justified in de-
handing large Introductory price for
the roots. but if Professor Hilborn's
Identification is correct and they are
really disseminating the old and com
paratively valueless lovage plant as a
sensational novelty they cannot be In
formed too soon.

having rows foot apart. Keep ahead
of the weeds by the free use of the

The Way With Lettuce.
Sow lettuce seed in open ground.
The soil cannot be too rich for it. Thin
the plants early TO stand about four
inches apart. When the plants have
begun to form little heads you may

Plant horseradish sets between the
rows of early cabbages or have a sepa-

ton with the cultivator and hoe.
For Greens.
Sow dandelion seed in open ground

not quite as thickly, and be sure to thin
plants to stand few inches apart.
Growing Strawberries.
A plan that has worked well when
summers are hot and dry and the sun
scorching is described by a Kansas
gardener as follows: Plant strawber-
ries in spring, rows four feet apart,
plants two feet apart in the row. Gull
tivate well until June 10, training the
runners in the row; then put between
the rows plenty Of coarse stable ma
nure, but without covering the plants.
a little careful placing and tramping
will be necessary in order to get the
ground well covered close to the plants.
/ never thought one could mulch too
heavily ana have been liberal with it.
Mulch settles and rots quite fast, and
plants will root through a good depth
of it. If the season should be dry no
more attention will be required until
fall when runners should be clipped
and weeds kept down. In practicing
this plan for eight years have not
failed once to get splendid crop.
Cabbage Planting.
Let the cabbage plants that were
wintered over in cold frame or grown
in an early hotbed or greenhouse go in
open ground just as soon as the latter
can be made ready to receive them.
The ground should be very rich and
kept well cultivated right along. Try
tablespoonful of nitrate of soda to
the plant, scattering it well around.

Hardy Celery.
While stating that he has had no
personal experience with it, l.. j. Taft
has the following to say in Gardening
concerning the claims made for the
new Silver King hardy celery by its
disseminators; The description given
by the firm seems to be quite accurate.
The plant is a hardy perennial which
sends up numerous stalks from thick.
fieshy CORN. The plant also has large.
fleshy roots, SO that clump Of it APP
pears much like rhubarb. although
white in color and considerably small
err. The leaf stalks are round. solid
and smooth. The stalks are readily
blanched either by banking with earth
or covering with a box or barrel. They
seem free from rust and are quite crisp
and tender. The flavor quite closely
resembles that of celery, although it
does not have the distinctive 'nutty"
flavor that is characteristic of the best
celery. | have never seen anything
that even resembled it, but from the
descriptions given of archangelica it
may be a European species of that
genus.
